*******EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT******** Ferry Ales Brewery is delighted to announce that it has been acquired by another local brewery, Mitchell Brewing. This means that the FAB beers our loyal customer base has enjoyed for many years will continue to be brewed in the heart of Lincolnshire. Plus, our amazing team that produces our beers in bottles, kegs and casks will be retained to continue to develop the qualities that have made F.A.B so popular. And last, but by no means least, the team at Mitchell Brewing will apply all of their considerable production and marketing expertise and know-how, to enhance and innovate the F.A.B brand and the range of beers on offer. To say that F.A.B will be in safe hands for many years to come is refreshingly understated! Commenting on the news John Cussons, F.A.B owner and Head Brewer said "I could not be more thrilled to be in a position to announce this acquisition. Luke and the team at Mitchell Brewing care deeply about their beer and the local community, and I have every confidence that they will harness all of the elements that define F.A.B, and nurture and develop the brand and the products in many exciting ways. I would like to thank all of the team at FAB and our customers and suppliers who have helped build FAB into what it is today. We look forward to working alongside Luke and his team as we transition towards the new operational structure". @themitchellbrewingco

***NEWS UPDATE – FERRY ALES BREWERY*** January 29th 2025 Ferry Ales Brewery is pleased to announce that we are now in advanced talks with a local businessman to buy the brewery business as a going concern. This does not affect FAB Bars Ltd. Discussions will take a while to conclude however, if successful, this means that the same beers will be brewed by the same team right here in Lincoln. The best possible outcome for all concerned. The buyer gets an established brand, with a loyal and growing customer base. Our customers will continue to enjoy our award-winning beers, be that in keg, cask, bottle or BIB. And our amazing team will carry on brewing and delivering a fantastic line-up of products to Lincoln and the surrounding areas. We cannot thank you enough for the hundreds of kind messages of support that we have received by phone, text and online over the past fortnight – rest assured, we are working very hard to secure the future of Ferry Ales Brewery for you all. John Cussons Owner and Head Brewer

IMPORTANT FAB NEWS - Ferry Ales Brewery would like to make everyone aware that we will be stopping production at the brewery at the end of March 2025. This does not effect FAB Bars Limited which will continue to operate as normal. We have built up a great team here in Lincoln, and are very proud to have been such an integral part of the local hospitality and small business sector in this wonderful county of Lincolnshire. Our partnerships with various local businesses and venues have brought us a lot of pleasure, as has welcoming many of you to the brewery on our popular tours. All told, the business has produced well in excess of 1 million pints of beer (!) - brewed, packaged and delivered to a diverse and loyal customer base in casks, kegs and bottles. We are thrilled to have won awards both regionally and nationally, and to have been so well supported by the local community. As you can imagine, this has been a very hard decision to take. Many factors go into a decision of this magnitude, and there is no denying that the economic environment for small businesses has become increasingly challenging. But that only tells part of the story - more simply put, and after 9 years in the brewing business, the time has come for John to pursue a different opportunity and direction. But it’s not all bad news! You can still buy ours beers and we will still be delivering , we will continue to do our brewery tours and the most wonderful gift from the community would be to continue to support the brewery. So finally - to everyone that has enjoyed our beers over the years - a massive THANK YOU and to our team, suppliers and friends of the business - we couldn’t have done it without you. John and the team at FAB

Merry Christmas from all the team at FAB. Thank you to all our customers in 2024 we hope you have a FABulous time.
