I have been asked on a number of occasions recently about what has happened to the Burton Old Cottage Beer Company and The Weighbridge Inn. Although there has been no official word, the rumours are the business has been put up for sale (one source says £15k but don’t quote me on that) due to the departure of the part time brewer and the awful news that the owner is very poorly; if anyone connected to the brewery is reading this please pass on my best wishes.
Over the last six months the opening hours of The Weighbridge Inn have slowly reduced until it finally closed last month, the lease is apparently up for sale as well.
If you attended this year’s 40th Beer & Cider Festival, you might have tried their Just So Stout and Halcyon Daze, I had a half of Daze on the Saturday evening and it was spot on. It saddens me that I may never get to drink it again.
Here are some photographs that I took over the last year or so of the Weighbridge Inn.
