Newbury’s first craft beer brewery and taproom has announced its official opening date.
Delphic Brewing Company will be opening a new premises within the vacant Motorists Discount Centre on Mayors Lane on Saturday, July 6.
Delphic was founded in 2019 by Tom Broadbank and currently operates from a 320 sq ft garage in Thatcham.
After a successful crowdfunding campaign, which raised over £17,000, Mr Broadbank was able to start work on converting the empty building into Delphic’s production facility.
He hopes it will be able produce between 75,000 and 125,000 litres of beer a year.
As well as brewing equipment, storage and office space, Delphic’s new HQ will also contain a taproom within the building that will open on Fridays and Saturdays.
Posting on Facebook, Mr Broadbank said: “Finally, three months later than we had hoped, 20 tins of paint and five skip loads more than we had planned, we are almost ready to throw our doors open to you.
“Our general launch will be on Saturday, July 6 from 11am.
“Our taps will be full with a range of our own beers and guests lines from our friends in the industry.
“Up In Smoke BBQs will be there with their infamous chicken to keep us all going throughout the day and into the evening.
“We hope to see as many of you very soon in Newbury’s first craft brewery and taproom.”
As well as the public launch on July 6, there will also be a pre-launch party on Friday, July 5 for those who bought tickets during the crowdfunding campaign.
Delphic will also be handing out the rest of its crowdfunder rewards over the coming weeks. Those who are able should bring their email confirmation with them to the new taproom once opened.
