A brief history of Hart BreweryHistory now knows I spent 12 great years with Andrew and his family at the Cartford and I was taught a lot by a man who not only had one of the best pubs in the country but knew his cellarmanship.After another 3 years with the new owners it was time to move on.Then came the inspiration…………I thought I want to be up there with the best were we should beWhen the lease was up we thought we have to be in preston, my home townThere were a few false starts with the golden cross and nonoThen we found the ideal place although no brewery tap to support us I think the team are good enough to take us to were we should beThe last year nov 2009 to 2010 were the worst time in the breweries history but something has come out of it terry and myself fighting spirit to surviveThe third member of staff came along by chance terry and I were waiting for the news of nonos and were having dinner in the dog and partridge when eddie Mather came up to us and asked how we were doing…We said not good ………….eddie started to talk about brewing and his enthusiasm came flooding outI said to terry this man is good ….. eddie then went home and came back with a recipe book from the bass museum and started to explain the recipes that he has done (scaled down to 5 gallon home brew levels ) this was when we knew we had to have eddie as part of the teamWe asked him to join us lucky for us he was unemployed and the job centre sent him to us on a 3 week trial that we knew we would not needSo we have now a 3 year lease and 2 good men with me plus a city and camra branch that wants a top brewery to be proud of.
