Firebrand Brewing Co. invests to meet increasing demand

Cornwall’s Firebrand Brewing Co. has just installed two new 7,500 litre fermentation vessels to boost their brewing capacity, as demand for their alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers continues to rocket.

Joe Thompson, Head Brewer of Firebrand Brewing Co and one of the new fermentation vessels

Joe Thompson, Co-owner and Head Brewer at Firebrand Brewing Co. explains: “We started 2025 with the busiest January ever and each month sales have continued to soar, outstripping  previous years and leaving us working hard to deliver our maximum output, but still struggling to quench the thirst for our beer. We believe that this is an upward trend so we decided to invest in two additional fermentation vessels. We are delighted that these have now been installed and we hope that the extra 15,000 litres will ensure we always have our customers’ favourite beers in stock.”

The two new tanks will increase Firebrand’s brewing capability by 30% and the company has also invested in a new delivery van to meet the continually expanding local delivery schedule.

Joe continues: “We have seen huge growth in our sales nationwide since we launched our first non-alcoholic beer, Shorebreak, and we desperately need to be able to produce more. We also need to increase the volume of Helles Beach, our much-loved Cornish Lager, particularly in the summer months. Our latest investments will give us the ability and flexibility that we need to continue to grow and to make sure our customers always have a cold pint of Firebrand beer to hand.”

Firebrand Brewing Co.’s Shorebreak is an alcohol-free hazy pale and Helles Beach is a Cornish Lager. Both have been lovingly crafted in Cornwall and are gluten free. For further information on Firebrand Brewing Co. please visit www.firebrandbrewing.co.uk or follow them on  X,  Facebook and Instagram.
