The team behind Batemans Brewery proves that beer is not just a man's business. In 1874, Susannah Bateman was essentially the first female brewer at Batemans Brewery, as she brewed the very first beer under the Bateman name in her kitchen. The idea of selling the farm and opening a brewery was based on her experiences as a homebrewer. To this day, strong women are behind the Batemans Brewery label - for example Jaclyn Bateman, who now runs the brewery together with her brother. She is also of the opinion that beer should be made more attractive to women again.
Being paid in beer is something most people only dream of. In 1874, this was still common practice. Luckily, because alongside Susannah's home brewery, this was the origin of the traditional brewery Batemans Brewery. George and Susannah Bateman began brewing beer to supply local farmers with beer. They needed the beer to pay their workers. But not only that, of course. In addition to the beer, they also received food and money. According to legend, most of this money was ultimately converted into George and Susannah's beer. This beer has since been brewed by real brewers in a private, family-run brewery. Brewers instead of accountants is the motto that the Bateman siblings are rightly proud of. No expense is spared on expert staff and excellent quality ingredients.
The Batemans' great passion for beer is evident not only in their excellent product and great success, but also in their commitment to always brewing transparently and fairly. In order to be able to offer beer drinkers a consistently flawless product, Batemans Brewery pays attention to every little detail: employees are carefully selected and only the most enthusiastic, talented beer lovers among them are hired. Batemans was even the first brewery in Great Britain to establish a code of conduct for optimal cooperation between everyone.
The pioneering spirit of the Batmans is also reflected in their beers. The Batemany Brewery was one of the first successful craft breweries in Great Britain to dare to brew seasonal beers like the Rosey Nosey . They have also never been afraid to experiment with ingredients and flavours. With this cosmopolitan strategy, the Batemans survived one or two national beer crises and built up a steadily growing customer base. Beer from Batemans Brewery can now be enjoyed all over the country and far beyond its borders.
Cheers!
