Pellicle announces new associate editor Claire Bullen after acquiring new headline sponsor Get ‘Er Brewed

Stockport, UK, 3/10/2025

Pellicle, the reader-supported independent food and drink magazine based in Stockport, is thrilled to announce the onboarding of Get ‘Er Brewed as the publication’s title sponsor for 2025/2026.

Get ‘Er Brewed, the Antrim-based supplier of ingredients for homebrewers and the professional brewing trade, have been loyal supporters of Pellicle for many years. Their continued support as an official sponsor will enable the team to keep Pellicle running, growing and maturing over the course of the next 12 months.

Get ‘Er Brewed will be working with Pellicle on a number of exciting projects over the coming year, as well as supporting the magazine in other ways too, such as offering a friendly but knowledgeable ear for advice as a family-run business with a model very firmly still focused on independence and quality.

Their sponsorship money has already been put to good use by the hiring of Pellicle’s new associate editor.

It is with great pleasure and fanfare that Pellicle would like to announce the James Beard award winning editor, photographer, NAGBW and BGBW award-winner and Claire Bullen to the team as our new associate editor.

Claire’s skill and experience in editorial work has been globally acknowledged, and so we need not introduce her credentials further. But as a team, Pellicle is keen to recognise Claire into the fold as not simply an associate editor, but as a dear friend. Each member of Pellicle has known Claire for a long time, and so it is with full hearts we welcome her to the publication.

Matthew Curtis, Pellicle’s founding editor, says: “It is an absolutely joyous moment to be able to announce both Get ‘Er Brewed’s sponsorship of the magazine, and Claire’s introduction to the editorial team. We know that Claire will prove to be an essential part of the Pellicle team quickly, enabling us to uphold our consistent high quality. Welcome to the gang, Claire!”

Get ‘Er Brewed says: “We are delighted to back Pellicle, the fantastic magazine and podcast all about the world of beer, cider, wine, and pubs, as their proud headline sponsor!

At Get'er Brewed, we’re not just any brewing store; we’re a force for good! From our humble attic beginnings in 2013, we’ve grown into the largest home brew haven across the UK and Ireland. As a family-owned gem, we’re all about diversity, offering brewers, cider makers, and distillers a complete range of top-notch ingredients and expert advice.”
