moved to
Kings Head, North Yorkshire Dec 2003 |
| (since 1998) |
After brewing in a garden shed for five
years, Peter Fairhall moved from Wickhambrook in West Suffolk to
buildings behind the Kings Arms in Redmire near Dent in North Yorkshire.
During his time in Suffolk, Peter brewed some wonderful ales and
certainly deserved the opportunity to expand his business - it's
just a shame he had to move so far away! We will still have opportunities
to sample Peters future brews though. His sister, who now owns the
Kingston Arms in Cambridge outright (as Peter has sold his share
to her recently) will still stock the beers, and some other micros
in East Anglia also plan to do beer swaps with him, once the move
is completed. New brewery is now called Wensleydale. |
