Shaun | Feb 2022 BeerCo Brewing And Distilling News

Hop this email finds you well and your Febrewery has started out great! Looks like we need to keep our crash helmets on for 2022. Some serious headwinds we are facing and to all our friends in Craft Brewing and Distilling please do not hesitate to reach out to us anytime. We have got your back! There is a lot to share this month. Firstly, for our commercial trade customers I refer you to a blog I just wrote called Chop | Ocean Freight Supply Chain Crisis 2022 It is grim reading and watching but essential for us all to survive and thrive in 2022 and sail through the choppy waters of 2022 into 2023 as much stronger businesses.

In addition to rising ocean freight costs we have already received several price increases from our supply partners related to commodity price movements and inflationary pressures. Whilst, we will always try to contain price rises and minimise the impact on our customers in some cases we are left with no other choice to survive but to pass through these costs. We will notify all our trade customers of cost increases as and when they occur and update our retail and trade pricing online according to the latest landed cost of goods into our warehouse. If you would like our latest trade price list exc GST for our range of Crisp and Malteurop and UniGrain and Bulk Adjuncts please do not hesitate to drop us a line anytime to Sales@BeerCo.com.au

Enough with the misery…on with the hoppiness…lots of great news to share here as well.

• Mary | London Dry Gin Distillers Kit

  $54.95 inc GST

  Mary of Orange, the daughter of King Charles I married a Dutchman in 1641. Since genever, the forerunner of gin originally comes from the Netherlands, her marriage helped her popularize the drink in England. After Mary died, the British made it legal for anyone to distill their own gin, which directly led to something we now call “the gin craze”. Mary is our take on a classic London Dry Gin. Juniper forward with classic botanicals and no artificial flavours or ingredients. Give it a try and tell us what you think after you drink and toast Queen Mary of Orange! Lady Genever!
