Deeply Vale Brewery

The premise
is simple. To brew a small core range and build from there. Currently there are
three beers in the range; with DV8 recently picking up beer of the festival at
the Ramsbottom RNLI event. Jim is particularly fond of this beer as, being a
dark beer fan by nature; he considers it the ace in his pack. Plans are afoot,
however, to add another beer to the range. Given his predilections, Jim would
like to do a brown ale, but is asking for suggestions. I’m pushing for an IPA.

It’s good to
see another local brewery doing so well and it must partly be down to Jim’s
enthusiasm. He is doing, after all, what he describes as his “dream job”. Another
reason is the quality aspect. If truth be told, a lot of micros struggle early
on with quality and some never improve. DV have hit the floor running as far as
that is concerned and due to their cooperation with Privateer and Ringway,
their beers are to be found in an ever expanding area.
In the
immediate future, DV beers will be showcased at the upcoming steam weekend at
the East Lancs Railway and at the Fisherman’s Retreat Beer Festival. Then there
are plans for bottling as several outlets have requested them and Jim has a
contact that may prove useful in a future distribution deal.
So, exciting
times ahead. Drink deeply, indeed.
