Beer Nouveau in Manchester have announced they are closing.
The brewery and taproom are now up for sale.
Not my favourite brewery by any means, I thought the recipes were poor, but still..............
A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Thought I knew just about every northern brewery, but I can honestly say I've never heard of them.

Heard of them but Untappd says I've never sampled one in my period using it.

I think some of their stuff was a bit experimental and they liked to dig out historical recipes and recreate beers based on those recipes.
Some of their beers have been better than others (my opinion being subjective of course) but the brewery tap was decent and always welcoming, and always worth a walk out to while doing others in the area.
The owner seemed to have a genuine passion for everything he did, even if it didn't always please the masses.
I remember one time during COVID restrictions where we had to sit outside and we sampled a couple of beers in the slightly chilly and dark beer garden, the owner came out and brought us both a half of his new 8% lager at no charge, just for us to try. That's not the kind of service you get everywhere!
That's a nice story, Rob. And seems to chime with the way he responded on Discord to someone who accused him of selling his beer too cheap and then too expensive. Unless I misread the time-stamps, it was some time between breathing in and breathing out again. Or was it the other way around?
"Firstly you’re saying that high price beers are killing beer, then you seem to be saying that low price beers aren’t sustainable.
Well, I’ve always been completely open about the cost of running a brewery and will happily answer any genuine questions that you may have. But I’d ask that first of all you don’t make any assumptions such as “are mostly “craft” beers on sale at fairly high prices”, because if you’d ever been to my place, or even did the most basic use of Google first you’d know I’m a brewing historian who specialises in historic and heritage beers, not exactly what you’d define as “craft”. And as for the prices, until 2 years ago we always had a bitter and a porter on draught at £3 a pint, cheap for Manchester. Then we had to up the prices to £3.60 a pint, still cheap for Manchester.
But please, tell me, which is it? Are these prices what you’ve called “fairly high” or what you’ve also called not “sustainable”?"
Measured, reasonable and genuine.
I'm sorry I never came across Beer Nouveau until this moment of its demise.
Come On You Hatters!
I have occasionally read his stuff on twitter as he can be a bit controversial. O nly about a week ago he posted a list of 22 breweries that have closed this year and said more to follow but didn't mention he was closing

Wondered what had happened to Brumaison. Never got to try Constellation.
