Seven Brothers brewery crowd fund to open Liverpool site and expand to four more UK locations

Brewers Seven Brothers has started a crowd funding campaign to help get its Liverpool site off the ground after plans halted following the lockdown.

The brewery, which has sites in Manchester and Salford, wants to also open a bar in Leeds and expand to four more UK locations.

It is now hoping to raise £250,000 for its expansion plans.

In return investors who pay £250 will receive 15 per cent discount off purchases made through the web-shop and in any of the beer houses and will be treated to a free pint in any of the beer houses on their birthday and a brewery tour with friends.

The bigger the investment, the higher the discount will be, it said.

CEO Keith McAvoy said: “We’ve built a business on core values around simplicity, transparency, locality and family and thanks to our extended family of over 1,500 investors we’ve seen our business grow.

“We believe we are on our way to becoming one of the UK’s go-to breweries.

We have created three much-loved drinking destinations in Manchester and Salford and we hope to replicate this in new cities.”

The McAvoy brothers Guy, Keith, Luke, Daniel, Nathan, Kit and Greg  started their brewery in 2014 - inspired by their dad’s home-brewing efforts in their cellar over the years.

This is not the first time the brothers have launched a crowd fund campaign.

In 2016 the business successfully raised £200,000 to launch its first bar in Ancoats, Manchester.

That business has gone from strength to strength.

Keith added: “COVID-19 has impacted our business however we have been embraced the changes and moved quickly to keep the business going. 

“We have a proven track record of high business growth and therefore hope that gives people the confidence to donate to our crowd fund.

“We’re believe we can make everyone who joins our family proud of their investment.”
