FAO UK Admins - Breweries/Places Housekeeping

I tried this on my phone but still can’t add a place. Arghhhhhhhhh

Wild Weather are moving to Wales, as are their production staff

They are sharing premises with Copperopolis, a brewery that aren’t on Ratbeer yet (unless there was a name change).

Please, please, please let all my existing Wild Weather rates be moved to West Glamorgan. :pray:

Glad to hear the Wild Weather staff are keeping their jobs (albeit relocated) and will continue brewing the same beers; it’s always been a brewery I’ve rather liked. I was pretty sad when their Reading bar closed.

Copperopolis appear to be a brand of Boss Brewing. I’m quite surprised at a Boss brand being described as a sister brewery of Wild Weather though; Boss and Wild Weather seem to be very different styles of brewery. Wonder what the link is?

The people who bought Boss brewery out of administration also bought out Wild Weather a while back. They sacked a load of people - including a couple of the brewers - and there were rumours that Wild Weather had shut a couple of months ago.

Edit: I would do OK in the West Glamorgan charts but I think I am going to drop down a couple of positions in Berks.

Not sure how this gets handled, hoping the Admins will have a good idea!

Just a name change? Although it doesn’t seem to mention which brewery it is.

Probably just delete it all because it seems made up. :thinking: :grimacing: :joy:

Finally managed to got to add a place. Phew!!

It’s referring to Backyard Brewhouse (name
change and ownership change). These guys: https://www.ratebeer.com/brewers/backyard-brewhouse-warwickshire-beer-co/9808/

Just just realised I added this beer in December

https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/alpha-delta-flamingo-duvet-set/1076617/

But it’s actually, this one.

Not even the same brewery. Sorry!!

I am trying to add a new Cidery in Cheshire. Traction Cider of Nantwich CW5 7BU

However, I keep getting the message “ERROR :Brewer Area Code is too many characters.”

Could somebody possibly add this cidery for me, or tell me what I am doing wrong

It’s the area code box. Leave it blank. Just put the whole telephone number in the main box.

I’ve emailed the brewery to ask if they are keeping the Grasshopper, Warwickshire and Backyard names. I presume they are, but brewing in just one location in future as the Backyard brewery has closed. Still waiting for a response.

Looks like Unity can unretired at some point. The word on the Facebookstreet is that Tap It have bought the brand and also brewery (which I presume means lease and equipment).

I only mention it because I had a couple lastvweek but Brodies, who’s beers were always available but who are now officially being relaunched, are still retired on here.

No action jeeded as ive closed it, but looks like Swansea BrewDog shut its doors earlier this year. Meh.

Unity may have been resurrected but Fallen Acorn have announced today that they are entering liquidation:

This beer appears to have the wrong name

The pun only works as written on the pump clip image

Rat Hot Chilli Peppers

Red Hot Chilli Rat just doesn’t work
