Independent brewer and pub operator, Bath Ales has revealed plans to build a new brewery on the same site as its office, warehouse and bottling plant operations in Warmley, South Gloucestershire.
The company plan to replace its original brewery at Caxton Business Park with a new brewery in order to bring all of its operations together at one site.
This will enable the company to produce more beer and be able to experiment with different varieties.
Managing Director of Bath Ales, Robin Couling said, 'We'll be consolidating to one site, which means lower property costs and lower operational costs such as for moving stock and so on.
'Having a more modern brewery makes us more efficient too. It gives us the opportunity to be more flexible in terms of the types of beers we produce, the level of consistency of those beers and the volume of beer we can make.'
Building work on the new brewery is expected to start towards the end of 2014.
