A popular micro-brewery is expanding its brewing operation and creating a new tap house after demands for its beers soared over lockdown. 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. This means the demand for Northern Monkey beers has started to outweigh their brewing capabilities in Nelson Square, leading the pair to expand their production.

A NEW tap room could open in Bolton as popular microbrewery sets its sights on expansion. Northern Monkey Brew Co has applied to open a new brewery just on the outskirts of the town centre with their popular Nelson Square bar continue to serve customers. If approved, a new premises licence would see them transfer and expand much of their brewery assets to a unit in Chorley Street which would focus mostly on the brewery side of the business. And it would be open as a tap room from Friday to Sunday, co-founder Ryan Bailey said. Ryan added that he and business partner Liam Convey had been thinking of ways to grow their business over lockdown, as bars and pubs were forced to close because of restrictions.
