Dawkins Ales 'devastated' as it closes brewery operations

Bristol-based brewery Dawkins Ales has announced it is closing its operations due to spiralling costs and slow recovery after the pandemic. The brewery is known for its award-winning Bristol Blonde, Foresters Black and Ultra.

Glen Dawkins has thanked all the customers over the years for their support. In a statement shared on social media, he said: "Despite the amazing efforts of the brilliant team we could not continue against the overwhelming headwinds of spiralling costs alongside post Covid recovery.

"I have seen many fellow brewers succumb and I am devastated to be joining them. Thank you to all our customers for their support as the brewery grew, helping us through recession and Covid."
