RAIG - FREEMINER BREWERY

Freeminer Brewery celebrated 10 years of brewing in the Forest of Dean in 2002 and over this time has expanded from a 5-barrel to a 40-barrel plant to cope with an increase in cask and bottle ales in Britain and abroad. A number of independent wholesalers are used to ensure a national distribution of the beers from its rural location. Some 40 oulets are supplied direct.
