Chris Thurgeson has moved on from the Bristol Beer Factory to become head brewer at the new Zero Degrees in Cardiff and he will be missed by both the brewery and the local CAMRA branch. Duncan Lash (pictured left) has stepped in to fill his rather large shoes as head brewer. Fortunately Duncan apparently has great passion for beer and some international brewing experience and things are indeed going well. The Bristol Beer Factory have just opened their first pub on dry land - the Barley Mow in St Phillips. After being alerted to the closure of the pub by the Bristol Pubs Group the BBF bought it from Wadworths & set about the task of fixing, painting & cleaning the pub. Simon Bartlett of the BBF said “The pub has a fantastic amount of history with the first licensee registered in 1828. There are some beautiful features in the pub which we will retain. The building was built to be a pub & it must stay that way. The cellar is directly below the bar so providing the best way to serve real ales. We intend to put food on once we have the place up & running & the kitchens refitted.” |
