Bright orange brewing kit

Middlesex brewery Grand Union folded back in January. I was a fan, after tasting a number of their beers at festivals and in pubs, and was sad to hear the news. However, one of the comforting things about brewery closures is that the kit often finds a good home somewhere else. Step forward Betwixt Beer Company, the latest venture of Mike McGuigan (formerly of ZeroDegrees, Brakspear and Meantime, among others). They snapped up the distinctive orange vessels from Grand Union, lugging them up to the Wirral for a new lease of life.
