The last few months have been a really hard slog for loads of small businesses and we’ve had moments, like many other small business owners, where we’ve been disheartened and wondered whether there would ever be a road out of the shutdown. As we’ve mentioned before, we’ve been fortunate in many ways, but the uncertainty can really take its toll.
However, the love we’ve been shown by customers old and new has been phenomenal! Yesterday, I took another look through all the messages we’ve received through the Contact Us form in the last couple of months and, apart from the odd marketing blurb, they were all from customers or potential customers asking how they could get hold of our beer and support us during the difficult times. “I want to support local businesses,” was the gist of most of them.
This has given us a great boost and helps us to know that there is a place for micro breweries, independent businesses and small enterprises despite the stranglehold that bigger operators sometimes seem to have over our industry.
So, we want to say thank you to all of you for sticking with us or even seeking us out for the first time while the world has been at a standstill – we really appreciate it, not just financially, but also in what you’ve done to help us see hope and a way forward. We’ve got some really exciting plans for the future, including our upcoming fifth birthday celebrations, so watch this space for some announcements in the next few weeks!
