Inevitably, we need to submit further information for the planning application, but no rejection letter just yet and it is still looking good! As we make progress I can start to give a little more information away. The site is a large storage shed and cold store that was previously used for apples from the orchard that runs alongside. If all goes to plan then we will also be taking on the 22 acres of apple orchard so as to make traditional farm cider - no Magpies / Weakbow here... And with the trees filling up with juicy, plump fruit then it won't be too long before we need to start picking and pressing.
At the same time, we have been making some progress with contingency plans to enable us to produce beer before the plant has been installed. This has taken a very exciting turn this week and we are hopeful that we may be ready with our first beers in early October. No guarantees just yet but watch this space...
