Home brew distilling, wine and beer making - About us

Home brew supplies from Hambleton Bard Ltd. We are the leading manufacturer and wholesaler of home brew products in the EU. Our speciality is super fast winemaking kits, turbo yeast and high quality homebrew accessories for making your own wine, beer or alcohol. We are also the manufacturers of the worldwide turbo yeast brand of Alcotec. Other well known brands are Muntons Premium, Woodfordes and John Bull beer making kits.

	Our main warehouse is located in Chesterfield, United Kingdom. See our contact page for details. We moved to this new larger facility in April 2010 after having outgrown our old warehouse for the third time in 10 years. We handle most of our sales from here, UK as well as the EU and outside. In the UK we have our own distribution.
Our juice production facility is located in Gothenburg, Sweden where we have an automated filling line for bag-in-box production and also a full canning line for our Magnum wine kits. We also maintain an older filling line for jerry cans, mainly for contract production.
	Our state of the art bag-in-box filling plant produces around 100,000 wine kits annually to the highest specification. We use especially designed low temperature filling in order to maintain all the natural qualities of the juice. Our BIB plant is the only factory with this technology in the EU. This film sequence shows our popular Cantina kits being produced.
	We have a very tight production lab quality control, testing every batch produced for consistency. If there is ever a problem (very unusual, but OK, it can happen), we have full traceability so we can find and correct the problem.
