Paint and a pint . HMG Paints decorative coatings used on Brewery Expansion
HMG Paints ’ range of decorative coatings have been utilised by award winning Howard Town Brewery , based in Glossop . Having occupied a modest 1,500 sq ft unit at absolute capacity for over a decade , Howard Town embarked on a painstaking renovation of a 6,000 sq ft warehouse next door , putting in a state-of-the-art , Simatec brewhouse .
As part of the renovation Howard Town Brewery worked closely with HMG Paints to specify the correct coatings . Due to the environment a unique coating was developed by the Manchester based company dubbed “ Brewery Paint ”. The high gloss antimicrobial acrylic coating was utilised on the walls and ceiling of the refurbished brewery . The coating utilises as silver ion additive which provides lasting and effective protection against harmful bacteria , mould , fungi and viruses by up to 99.99 %.
Howard Town is best known for being a traditional cask brewery with a long-standing reputation for quality cask ale , meticulous about balance and consistency . As part of the refurbishment HMG ’ s standard range of decorative products were also used in the new Tap Room where customers can sample the beers on site . For the Tap Room the company used HMG ’ s Vinyl Matt Emulsion and Trim Paints which were colour matched to the Howard Town brand colours .
Unfortunately , the impact of COVID has meant that customers haven ’ t been able to fully embrace the new Tap Room and see the full impact of the refurbishment . However , that hasn ’ t stopped innovative owners , husband and wife team Stuart and Emma Swann , who have recently launched a new ecommerce website , www . howardtownbrewery . com , where customers can purchase beers no matter where they are in the UK .
“ This project highlights what HMG does best , in working with Howard Town we found a bespoke solution for their needs ” comment Paddy Dyson , Marketing Manager . “ Being a local manufacturer was also key as we could manufacture and deliver the paint directly to Howard Town as it was needed .”
Howard Town brewery is an award-winning brewery and brewery tap based in Glossop , Derbyshire on the edge of the peak district national park . 15 minutes ’ walk from Glossop railway station .
Howard Town Brewery was established in 2005 and has been producing award winning cask ales ever since . Find out more or purchase the beers via https :// www . howardtownbrewery . com .
