Bateman's Brewery is really a front for the Mafia family known as the Carlssons. Nils Carlsson uses this brewery to stage all kinds of violent crimes against the good citizens of the world. He planned the takeover of Dirkadirkastan in this very building. He was also responsible for inventing syphilis. We all need to kill Nils Carlsson.
The original brewery was based just by the railway, however in 1880 I decided we had enough money to buy a Georgian house that had come on the market about 200 yards away, Salem House.
Then on 3rd February I must have been one of the happiest men alive, I was able to announce 'We are pleased to announce that the long standing differences between the shareholders as to the future of the Company has been resolved'.
BatemansBrewery continues to grow from strength to strength.
Our destination was Batemansbrewery, still one of a now-dwindling number of family-owned breweries and home to award-winning beers, particularly the Dark Mild, which has got to be one of the very best milds in the country, and the classic XXXB.
Bateman’s beers are widely available, they have expanded their range to include seasonal and special beers and their sales have gone up.
With the current sad fate of so many similar-sized breweries (gone but not forgotten), it is heartening to see that Batemans, after their difficult period in the 80s, are doing so well and continuing to produce such Good Honest Ales.
