Liam Convery and Ryan Bailey run Northern Monkey Brew Co., which has a popular bar in Nelson Square, Bolton town centre, with its own brewed beers growing steadily over that time. However, over lockdown, demand for the duos beer has soared as they follow in the footsteps of other popular local breweries, such as Rivington Brew Co., selling their beers across the country.
