Back in 2014 Ritchie Bosworth and Chris Cooper set up the UK’s first ‘pico brewery’ using a tiny 60 litre kit, brewing in Chris’s garage in Tile Hill, Coventry. Demand soon outstripped supply and they set up in FarGo village, an artistically repurposed industrial space in Coventry City Centre, designed exclusively for creative, independent businesses. Here they set up a brand new brewery and tap house which was such a success that in 2017 they moved yet again to a larger unit within FarGo village to a space that can hold 300 people and furnished with 23 keg lines and 2 cask beers.
We headed over to the tap room, grabbed a beer and fired some questions at Ritchie…
