HISTORICAL FACTS: Craft brewery founders heartbroken after falling into administration - The Untold Story

The co-founders of a Somerset craft brewery say they are "heartbroken" after being forced to appoint administrators. Wild Beer Co, which also has a taproom at Bristol's Wapping Wharf, was established by friends Andrew Cooper and Brett Ellis in 2012 after the duo met while working at the Bristol Beer Factory.

The pair said the business had faced "adverse trading conditions" in recent times, including Covid, the loss of export sales, spiralling production costs, soaring inflation, and an increase of interest rates. The company has now appointed Sam Talby and Rob Coad of Undebt.co.uk as joint administrators.

The administrators are managing the affairs, business and property of Wild Beer Co, according to the company's website, and are looking for a buyer for the business, which has ceased trading.
