Brewery Independent

The Really Good Bar Company is not tied to any particular brewery, wholesaler or brand. We can work with your preferred suppliers or we can directly source and negotiate the best supplier contracts for your event. We base our product selections on a range of factors including cost, customer demographic, sponsorship/brand considerations, our responsible drinking policy and logistical considerations (including install, refrigeration and transport).

We have excellent, ongoing working relationships with existing national wholesalers and many breweries around the country. We are also very aware that events and festivals provide excellent marketing opportunities for new and existing brands and are always happy to talk to agencies about interesting partnerships that can add value to an event as well as promoting their products.

We have been championing local brewers since around 2007 when we saw a big uptake in real ale drinking at festival bars. We always check in with local brewers to get them on board for events in their local area. This adds to the diversity on offer to the customer and helps to support local business near a festival. Since 2012 we have been running 'meet the brewer' sessions at music festivals as customers are increasingly interested in the origins of the beer and cider they drink. This approach also works well with the craft beer movement and allows us to stock diverse drink menus that actively engage the customer and increases return to the event.
