As it moves into its 10th year, Purity Brewing Company is again delighted to report a strong performance at financial year end. The company is reporting a £5,900,000 turnover and a net profit of £400,000; 158% Y-O-Y growth.
The Warwickshire-based brewer continues to go from strength to strength and can celebrate its 10th Birthday in style thanks to World Beer Award wins for Pure UBU (World’s Best Amber Ale) and Lawless Lager (World’s Best German Style Lager), exciting new partnerships, a growing team and the likelihood of a new beer on the way in 2016.
Purity owners Paul Halsey and James Minkin launched the brewery at Upper Spernall Farm in 2005, when they brewed and sold the beer, and even made the deliveries themselves, before recruiting now Director of Brewing Flo Vialan and building up a dedicated team of passionate people to deal with the growing demand.
Having started out with just two cask ales, Pure Gold and Pure UBU, the portfolio has now grown to include Mad Goose and Saddle Black, as well as craft keg beers Longhorn IPA and Lawless Lager. Purity has been rewarded for its dedication to brewing quality and consistent beers by winning multiple national awards with CAMRA and SIBA and international awards at the International Beer Challenge and World Beer Awards, a sure sign that they are continuing to satisfy the tastes of their discerning and loyal fan base.
In an exciting year for the brand, Purity’s ethic of ‘brewing with a conscience’ has seen it named UK Sustainable Manufacturer of the Year, whist the growth of the brand and the award-winning nature of the beers has also seen the brewer announce a long-term partnership with Wasps Rugby and Ricoh Arena, as well as continuing its relationships with Coventry Rugby and a number of regional music festivals including Mostly Jazz, Moseley Folk and the Lunar Festival.
Purity MD, Paul Halsey: “For us, our ongoing success is absolutely down to our staff, supporters and loyal customers, who we know truly appreciate our approach to brewing. We have unwaveringly stuck to our principles of quality, attention to detail and brewing with a conscience and as we enter our 10th year have created a fantastic story and incredible following. Our ‘Puritans’ are the reason we keep growing, so here’s to everyone that enjoys our beer and makes us who we are today. I can promise that our values will continue to drive everything we do as we enter an exciting new chapter.”
