We're looking to raise £15,000 to allow us to develop our rebellious little brewery. Support us on our mission to keep pushing the brewing boundaries and bringing you the bravest beers with the most eccentric taste. Our planned expansion includes the addition of 2x1000L Bright beer tanks to help us to increase production and make our little brewery more self-sufficient. We also want to secure 2 new jobs within our Brew Crew (a full-time bar supervisor and a UK sales Rep) as well as get a van for local deliveries and help out with brewing logistics.
About Piglove Brewing Co.
Piglove Brewing Co. is our independent craft brewery, based in Leeds. ‘Brave Brewing with Eccentric Taste’ is what we're all about! Not content with simply being part of the craft brewing revolution, we want to push things forward in our own style. Originally hailing from the far-away lands of Venezuela, we add an Amazonic twist and wanderlust to all our beers. ‘Piglove’ comes from the Venezuelan expression ‘cochino amor’, which is used to describe love for something that is so big, raw and passionate that it becomes filthy and absurd. For pigs it’s mud, for us it’s craft beer and brewing. There’s nothing we love more than getting messy in the brewery, and working on new ideas!
A mashing of strange coincidences
A little more from our back story… in 2016, by chance, two Venezuelan guys wandering the UK met in Leeds. Within just a few short moments the conversation had turned to their shared admiration for the heritage of craft brewing in the UK, particularly in Yorkshire. Through a mashing of strange coincidences, Piglove Brewing Co. was officially born in December 2019, just 2 months before the pandemic. This crowdfunding campaign comes after an incredible (but also difficult) year in 2021, we are now at the right point to increase our production and ensure that we can produce more boundary-pushing beer for all you little piggies out there.
Brewing some good
We will be donating 10% of this crowdfunder total to a very special charity: Children’s Heart Surgery Fund. CHSF has been doing incredibly important work for over 30 years, supporting Leeds Congenital Heart Unit, its patients and their families. We’d like to take this opportunity to show them our support.
