Barrels and barrels of beer made by the celebrated indie craft beer makers Beatnikz Republic are to be sold off for a fraction of their retail price, after the brewer folded earlier this year. The company dealing with the liquidation of the brewery’s stock is looking for as little as £1 a pint for the beer, which would usually sell for £6 in pubs and bars.
Accountants Begbies Traynor say that there are more than 300 barrels of beer to be sold, and hundreds of cans, working out as something like 20,000 pints in all. The stock, which is all being housed at at a warehouse near Strangeways, is made up of Beatnikz ales, IPAs and stouts like Beach Bum, Oblivion Now, Miami Amor and Chocolate Fudge Cake.
Paul Stanley of Begbies Traynor said: “We’re looking for someone in the trade to see the opportunity, step forward and buy the bulk of the stock that’s left over in this treasure trove of ale. At this stage we estimate there’s almost 20,000 pints of craft ale sitting here and we’ll supply a full inventory upon request. It would be good for a trade buyer such as a freehouse, independent bar or organised beer festival.
