Hello fellow Crumbers! I hope you've had a good summer? Although last time I wrote I seem to remember we were basking in 30 degree heat, shame it didn't quite last! Life at Crumbs Towers has continued to be hectic, hopefully you'll have seen some of our recent updates? At the risk of repeating myself [...]

As readers of this blog will know, our journey to creating and selling our first brew has been a continual venture into the unknown. That's exactly the thing that makes it so exciting. What's made it even more exciting in recent days is apparently I've got a new wife! Result! 'Rosie and Morgan Arnell of Crumbs.." [...]

Well it's been a rather busy couple of weeks. After the euphoria of actually getting our first ever brew into a bottle, it quite quickly hit home that we now (quite literally) had our very own beer mountain. We ought to get out there and try and sell it! The first pallets to arrive [...]

I’m glad to say I have finally lived out a childhood fantasy! No, not going on a date with Jet from Gladiators. Better than that, I got to venture through the round window on Playschool into my very own “today we’re going to learn how beer is bottled” episode. It was awesome - although I’m [...]

As you may have read in previous posts, we embarked on a bit of a make-over of the Crumbs brand with the team at Fourleaf Design a few weeks back. That's not to say we didn't like our old logo (designed by our extremely talented friend Hannah) but it was time to give Crumbs a [...]

Well, we're quite biased on that one... On one hand, all of us at Crumbs Beer are ready to pay extortionate amounts (plus booking fees) to see our favourite bands. Some of us even delight (or annoy, depending on who you ask) anybody with enough patience with our (somewhat dubious) musical skills. And on the [...]

Today was a day of firsts The first time our resident Spanish Crumbs Spreader, Adria, visited the Isle of Wight. Crossing the Solent in the sunshine It may not be as warm as Barcelona just yet, but there are few more beautiful places on earth than the Island when the sun is shining. [...]

Taking over the blog today, it’s the Crumb Spreader, Adrià Tarrida. I’ve always thought that companies should do, first of all, good. Making money is just the way they can ensure they’ll be doing good for longer! That’s why, when my mate and Chief Crumber Morgan told me about his idea of doing beer out [...]

Excited by the fact we seem to have a great beer on our hands it was time to turn our attention to a bit of marketing. Most importantly what is Crumbs actually going to look like? In a sea of wild and wonderful craft beers that seem to be growing in number by the day [...]

So exciting to take first delivery of our first test brew: Crumbs Amber Lager version 1. Feels like it's taken a long time to get here when in reality it wasn't that long ago I was munching on a bacon sarnie in Chalk Hills. Before you ask though - sorry, we haven't made enough to [...]

While our first trial brew develops into the fantastic beer we know it will be, we turn our focus back to keeping up the supplies of our wonder ingredient, Chalk Hills delicious bloomer loaves. Now we're scaling up for a larger brew the volume needed is on the up so we've treated ourselves to a [...]

Finally, enough of the talking and researching, it's time to put theory into practice and actually get some beer made. The longer term plan is to create our own brewery in Surrey but for the time being, we have done our best to form an alliance with some friendly brewers that will help us on [...]
