-The Brewery
Building a brewery in the current economic climate proved to be unfeasible as a start-up company. The hunt was on to find a local brewery capable of brewing and packaging beers of the style and to the quality that Mitchell Krause Brewing insists upon.
From a technical point of view any brewing and packaging partner needs the ability to properly condition Mitchell Krause beers at low temperatures for extended periods (‘lagering’).
Possibly the most important criteria, however, is the brewing partner’s shared company values and an all-consuming passion for brewing a variety of different styles of beer excellently.
Mike Askey and Steve Hebblethwaite of Bitter End Brewing Co in Cockermouth brew Mitchell Krause Pale Ale and Hefe Weiss. The beer is then transferred to Bottled in Cumbria (next door) in pressurised vessels to keep the natural CO2 (the bubbles) that is produced from fermentation in the beer rather than artificially injecting it just before it is bottled as is the case in bigger lager breweries.
Andy Hepworth and his company, Hepworth & Co in Horsham brew Mitchell Krause Pilsner. They are an established, award-winning brewer of lagers of distinction. They are committed to using local ingredients and are accredited by the Soil Association for the production and packaging of organic beers. Once brewed the beer is also transferred to Bottled in Cumbria where it is 'lagered' at -1oC for 3 weeks before bottling.
Mitchell Krause Brewing aims to build its own brewery once fully established.
