As keen home brewers we were always hassling our commercial brewer friend Mark for surplus ingredients. Then one day, back in Decembre 2014, he dumped 20 kilos of hops on our doorstep and said "There you go. Get rid of that lot and you can keep some for your next brew ", and that's how it started... We now stock over 110 varieties and have built up a good relationship with a couple of fantastic hop merchants and farms. So if you can't see the variety you're after then let us know and we may be able to do something for you.  
 
We've grown far more than any of us expected and all good things must come to an end. Mark needed to focus on the brewing business, so we parted a while back on good terms. We now concentrate our minds on hops, yeast and malt and hopefully supply some good ingredients to you brewers out there? But we like to keep it intimate, so no more growing for us because at the end of the day we like to write a couple of thank you emails, put our feet up and watch the world go by with a pint in hand...

​

And now it's suddenly October 2024 and a wee announcement about what’s happening here at Crossmyloof Brew in the coming months. After a decade of selling hops and yeast, we’ll be taking early retirement by the end of 2024 to do a bit more brewing and the like.

 

But fear not! We’ve had an offer to find a new home for the business by some fellow home brewers, former customers keen to keep the full service we offer going.   So, the new owners will continue to concentrate on hops, yeast, grain and grain kits . Please be gentle with them while we move home (est. transfer W/C 9th December), and if it all goes well you shouldn't notice a thing.

 

And it goes without saying we thank you all for the support you’ve shown over the last 10 years. It truly has been a pleasure, and you guys and girls have made this whole online brewing supplies malarkey a delight.

Happy brewing and take care out there!
