Finalorders

HULLO ! Yes Geeves Brewery has it`s fb page.

Hi everyone who has looked at this thread and put in your worthy pennyworths. Please,if you wish,continue your interest in us on geevesbrewery.com with it`s e mail link. I am just the old mum now in the background,quietly slipping away into gardening and embroidery. NOT. But this brewery has found it`s legs now, and does not need me on the forum. I do voluntary cask and floor washing now and again, but after a brilliant Launch Do last Saturday it is up to Harry and Pete Geeves now to make beers that you will come across and like. All the best and Thankyou, Suzanne Geeves

Hope to see you at the Huntsman,Thurlstone 17th for the launch. x

Yes, approving nods this end and...what does it taste like...?!! Let us know, won`t you, when it is ready and you`ve tried it.

More beer choices a coming. We spent loads of time last night thinking of a name for a black 6% stout.It was originally devised and refined a couple of years ago on our boat `Watermusic`. But what to call the damn thing...We have a few great photos we can manipulate to do with tunnels..think... black... think coal..think.. black Stout..Tunnel End,Tunnel Drip.Jetty Black,Starboard Stout..Nope!!!! Still got our Thinking Caps on. We have always called it Smokey Jo cos we made close contact with it one night on the Cut by a smokey fire.But that name is too much a pet name and definitely does not have anything to do with the beer. You try,..it`s not as easy as you think.

Just read your article. Thankyou for your input. It is just not us I`m sorry to say. It is slick business speak. We do not want that. I would hate to offend you. But we don`t want to enter the world of commercialism unless on our particular terms. Our terms seem to be, let people know about our beer and us, full stop

hi Chris.Please get onto http://www.geevesbbrewery.co.uk and use the contact e mail. I`ll tell you why,.they are very busy and shouts from me are not quite dealt with as quickly: They are literally fielding e mails and calls till midnight.They are interested in your offer. Harry is doing his fourth year at Uni in mid September and will be less available then to help his Dad. Tell us why you would like to volunteer to put in some hours..are you bored and retired ? Are you thinking of getting into the business yourself ? ...if so whichever ..fine by us !

Thankyou for your offer.We will bear this in mind !

LOVE to know what you are up to to now. Just nice to get your response as a student.

OUR BIG LAUNCH...The Huntsman,Thurlstone, near Penistone. Saturday evening 17th September. Geeves Brewery beers will be on and we are planning to have food and music. We can all meet each other finally. Sheffieldites on this site could even get together for taxis? I am disappointed that it is in the middle of nowhere for alot of us. (apologies to Thurlstone which is the centre of the universe to many) There is Geeves Brewery beer available in Sheffield though. We had Tiller Girl and Bow Hauler on at The Fat Cat which has been holding a Beer Festival and our beers were the FIRST BEERS to sell out.!!!!! So although people wanted to sup the new kid on the block, they blinking well kept coming back for more I presume.!! The Fat Cat`s cellar is so full that we have had to make way for other beers during this festival time. But we should be on at The Harlequin and The Shakespeare in the next week to 10 days. We deliver our beers on Wednesday. PS. You lifted our spirits Sheffandy.!!! Want to see you there !!

We really respect where you are coming from. Food for thought. More later. Any other thoughts ? Also what does IMHO mean ?

Thankyou !!! Check out The Huntsman`s opening times, they have a great website : http://www.thehuntsmanthurlstone.co.uk .LOVE to see your thoughts on Tiller Girl. Andy The Landlord says it is` very nice` in a text....not giving away much is he, so Give us the Poncy beer talk of vanilla and grapefruits will you....or what it is you do taste.!!

Sounds very interesting.We don`t do lagers at the moment..how is your restaurant going? What is it called ?

Thankyou Bill , for helping me out there. I URGE EVERYONE TO LOOK AT YOUR PHOTO`S ON THE WEBSITE YOU MENTIONED ABOVE, http://www.flickr.com/photos/peak4 WOW !!!!!! STUNNING !

firstly I must correct our website address. It is http://www.geevesbrewery.co.uk. I read your link with interest. We have picked a narrowboat theme as we have lived on one as a family for many years,still have one,have done the length and breadth of the country in it and first brewed beer on it. So our beers are all named after narrow boating themes. If we wanted to get onto the worst beer clip names (which is not a bad idea ) how about Stern Gland Greaser. Yep, Pete went on a course for that when he was learning about narrowboat engines..

thankyou...what a mistake. OUR WEBSITE ADDRESS IS http://www.geevesbrewery.co.uk

Our first beer `Tiller Girl` is now available at The Huntsman, Thurlstone, near Penistone. (check opening times.) From Thursday 18th August there is a beer festival at The Fat Cat, Alma St Sheffield which will feature two of our beers, Bowhauler and Tiller Girl. Also Tiller Girl will be on at The Scarbrough Arms, Tickhill,near Maltby. For brief descriptions of our beers you can now visit our website: http://www.geevesbrewery.co.uk It is strange to write this after looking back at my previous postings. We have finally made a start.

Our three beers so far are available to you at the Fat Cat pub beer festival from 18th August.We will put in an appearance , and love to hear your feedback on this sight or in person. It is not our Big launch , but a preview. Should be Yummy yummy stuff,..but always aware that real ale drinkers have discerning palates so will be VERY interested to see your comments..!

Got our third brew done. Three different beers. All is good good good. Eh..you know the Home grown hops I was talking of....not used so far in these brews. So previous promises are out of my control. I`m tempted to make blinking Hop Pillows out of them...More are being grown, but at the moment the boys are using vac packs of fresh hops.Mostly it is to do with it being early days of translating their recipes onto a big scale. Also, I am hearing heavy stuff of lab reports, vat thingys and being accountable for every per cent of alcohol made to such an extent that you have to account for samples taken off etc.....Thus I am lead to believe. Or maybe they are trying to keep it from my lips. I did say recently,"Well at least we now have a great supply of beer at home." Eh not, apparently,...at the moment we are in the stupid position of going off to the co op for a beer or two !!!!

sorry to take so long in replying,but I am still waiting for an answer myself. Am waiting for John the Boatman to get on the phone. He harvested and dried them for us in Worcestershire and I have them in paper sacks here in Barnsley. back soon ..xx..

ANYONE WANT A LAUGH....All the graphics..Beer Identity etc whatever Business Advertising is required is Home Grown, like the Beer.We are using pictures to do with our boating Brewing roots and our family. But the laugh is...If you Google Pete Geeves , our Esteemed Brewer...you might find him also famous for an entirely different beverage. ..

oh yes we have names ,photos .graphics..All to be revealed when the blinking boys upload stuff to the web sight which I will let you know about here first. They are too busy concentrating on the Beer.

Will do ! And I will need a New bathroom soon...!

Each Brew is 1480 pints. They are in the middle of their second Brew now, but unsupervised. I imagine they will go into soft launches (horrible phrase,) with these brews. I tasted the beer yesterday, just a few days old and it was beautiful and amazing. The crust on top is alive and moving..an enormous yeast crust that protects the beer..it is wondrous.We must use our home grown hops for a beer and hopefully for You Lot at a launch for you.You only launch a Ship once, but you can introduce your beer to various communities can`t you. We want the official launch season it seems , at the end of Summer, and the batch of our Hops will be in your beer in Sheffield if I can arrange it so help me,thankyou very much. We would love to have people like Ian Mac Millan and John Carthy and the Watersons (R.I.P.Mike) Not sure about my spellings.Please correct me.My lot ,the Geeves do great folk singing and violin playing in themselves. I add a smokers gravel voice from the tow path usually and KNOW that I do not sound like Marianne Faithful, but am aghast that she manages it and I can`t. xxbest wishes for nowxx

Can`t really catch my breath about where we are at, at the moment. The final bits of everything came last week. We paid for their installation and the first brew to our recipe was overseen by the Established team who took Pete and Harry through it. then said Ta Ra. So over the weekend the Boys have been at Geeves Brewery doing odd things like hugging and talking to the beer..(they might kill me for writing that)..Dashing out to MachineMart and buying platforms and hooks, and then at a rather late stage...finding a a farmer who will take the malt barley for his cattle and the spent hops for his compost.
