The Best of British Beer Brewer's Charter

The craft beer scene has changed dramatically in the 12 years we've been trading, with a spike in the amount of new independent breweries opening towards the end of the last decade. Unfortunately a number have struggled since 2022 and the trading conditions have led to the closure of many of these start ups.

We realise that without any suppliers, we don’t have a business, so we've tackled the problem by launching the Brewer's Charter. This document highlights our commitment to British brewing, offering support with everything from payment terms and deliveries to social media mentions.

While not all the points are relevant to every supplier, it’s been met with real positivity from the brewers who have seen it and recognise the importance of having a customer they can trust. In all honesty, it’s what we’ve been doing for years anyway, but it just clarifies how we do things and offers reassurance to our brewery partners.

The Best of British Beer Brewer's Charter is a commitment to supporting independent British breweries. Since 2011, we've been dedicated to maintaining strong partnerships with our suppliers, ensuring transparency in payment terms, deliveries, and offering marketing support.

This charter reinforces our promise to help brewers thrive in the competitive craft beer industry. With this clear and collaborative approach, we build trust with breweries to ensure long-lasting, successful relationships in a changing market.
