Butcombe is launching a new initiative to encourage independent retailers to sell more bottled ales. The scheme will support and reward the best retailers and encourage best practise.
Whilst Butcombe hope to sell more of their own ales through the project, they also want to support the growth of the bottled ale category as a whole.
With the support of Booker Wholesale, Butcombe's exclusive wholesale partner, the company is confident that the scheme will prove successful for all concerned.
Criteria required for becoming a Butcombe Recommended Retailer
• A dedicated range of bottled ales
• A minimum of ten bottled ales in the range
• A minimum of five local or regional products
• Permanently stock at least two Butcombe ales
