“It is with heavy heart that I have to announce that Boutilliers brewery has appointed insolvency practitioners to oversee the closure of the brewery.
It’s been a rollercoaster 6 years with many ups and obviously some big downs, but the time is up for us.
Thank you if you’ve ever bought and enjoyed our beer, and I hope we’ve made some good memories.
Drew will be continuing in Ashford with the Taproom, so pay him a visit if you can.
Thanks again for all the support we’ve had over the years, it’s been much appreciated”.
