Craft Beer Suppliers for UK Pubs, Bars & Hospitality Businesses

Craft beer has become an established part of the drinks offering across pubs, bars, restaurants, hotels and other hospitality venues throughout the UK. From pale ales and IPAs to stouts, lagers and seasonal brews, craft beer gives operators an opportunity to offer customers greater variety alongside more established beer brands.

​

Finding the right craft beer supplier can help hospitality businesses develop a drinks range that suits their customers, venue and overall positioning. The Chefandmanager UK Hospitality Suppliers Exhibition helps hospitality owners, operators and buyers discover specialist suppliers serving businesses throughout the UK.

Craft Beer for Pubs, Bars, Restaurants & Hotels

The UK craft beer market offers hospitality buyers an extensive range of beer styles, flavours and formats. Depending upon the supplier, businesses may be able to source pale ales, IPAs, craft lagers, stouts, porters, wheat beers, seasonal products and alcohol-free alternatives.

Products can also be available across draught, keg, cask, bottle and can formats.

A specialist craft beer bar may require a frequently changing range, whereas a restaurant, hotel or traditional pub might choose a smaller selection to complement its established drinks offering.

​

Choosing a Craft Beer Supplier

​Taste and product range are naturally important, but hospitality operators should also consider the commercial and operational aspects of supply. Delivery coverage, availability, keg or cask formats, minimum orders, pricing, product consistency and supplier support can all influence the decision. Businesses may also want to consider where beers are produced, the story behind individual breweries and whether particular products complement their food menu or existing drinks selection.

​

Independent and specialist breweries can provide venues with an opportunity to introduce distinctive products and regularly refresh their beer range.

​

Creating a Stronger Craft Beer Offering

​The most appropriate selection will depend upon the individual venue and its customers.

Offering different styles can give customers greater choice, while knowledgeable staff and clear menu descriptions can help customers explore unfamiliar products.

Operators should balance variety with expected demand so that the range remains commercially appropriate and products are served at their best.
