About James Clay & Sons

North Brewing Co. Distribution Relationship

It brings us huge pleasure to announce a new distribution partnership with long term friends at North. Starting from the week beginning 2nd of August we’ll be taking care of fulfilment and distribution of North Brewing Co. beers outside of Leeds, helping them to focus on continuing their already exceptional growth. This partnership will allow us to spread their beers far and wide throughout the entirety of our nationwide network. Our sister company Rarter bond will also be providing the brewery with cost effective storage space to facilitate their development.

Swedish Import Project

Partnering up with Beerbliotek, we’re launching a project to explore the breweries of Sweden. On a regular basis we’ll bring over beers from Gothenburg’s Beerbliotek and a collection of their friends carefully selected by Richard and his team at Beerbliotek. Many of these breweries are pretty small and it would be difficult to import them in a cost effective manner, so working collectively we can showcase these exceptional Swedish beers.

Chimay 150 Release

Amidst a relative flurry of new Trappist beers, we’re delighted to announce the addition of Chimay 150 to the core range. Originally brewed in 2012 to celebrate the famed brewery’s 150th anniversary. Available now in 24x330ml bottles with 750ml to follow next month.

Oktoberfest 2021 Preorder

O'Zapft Is! Our Oktoberfest 2021 range is now open for preorders. Although the iconic fest in Munich is cancelled this year (construction starts in April and it was too tricky to make the call), we can still help you bring the best of the fest to your customers with the widest range of Oktoberfest biers in the UK.
