HOW DRINKS WHOLESALE SHOULD BE DONE
PROUDLY INDEPENDENT SINCE 2002
OUR HISTORY BACK IN 2002, EXPRESS ALES WAS STARTED BY DENNIS & PAM HALL. THINGS HAVE MOVED ON SINCE THEN... Having spent many years in & around the drinks trade, Dennis noticed that too many businesses in the area suffered a lack of service by larger national wholesale distributors. Based in a small warehouse unit in Stratford upon Avon & one van, they started offering a limited selection of beers, ciders, wines & spirits to local businesses. The demand for credible & quality drinks wholesale & distribution services was soon apparent, & the fact they delivered a whole lot more than just ales meant the current name didn’t do them any favours. So, in 2004, when more of the family & an old friend & colleague, Graham Lawton, joined the team, they decided that a name change
needed to be made. Thus Inn Express was then born!. Over the coming years & moving closer to the present day, our team has created an innovative, ever-evolving product portfolio to keep our customers engaged with modern-day trends. We operate in a unique style, which is only possible with such a dedicated & long-serving team. Although having such a long-serving team is a considerable benefit we constantly add to our team to sustain our growth further & ensure we have a diverse group who can share ideas & previous experiences to better the business. This combination of new & old ideas has enabled us to get ahead of the competition. We focus on what we can do to help our customers so they can have the time to do the same.
WE REGULARLY SUPPORT LOCAL CHARITIES & INITIATIVES SUCH AS ALCESTER FOOD BANK, ALCESTER 10K & THE CARE LEAVERS FOUNDATION PLUS MANY MORE. INN-EXPRESS.COM

CRAFT BEER CRAFT BEER HAS NEVER BEEN SO POPUL AR.
We often get asked “what craft beers do you have?” Now, depending on who you speak to, “craft beer” means different things to different people. Which is helpful, huh? We tell our customers that it’s sometimes easier to define the category deciding what The opposite of craft beer is? The opposite of craft beer is commercial beer. Commercial beer is mass-produced & readily available in most high street pubs & restaurants. Another telling factor is that you won’t find commercial beer on tap if you step inside a craft brewery taproom or independent bottle shop. Craft beer is a term that has migrated across the pond from the USA & is still very much a hot topic for debate. Craft beer, while increasingly popular everywhere, is somewhat difficult to define. Generally speaking, craft beer is a beer that independent breweries make in small batches. According to the Brewer’s Association, to qualify as a craft brewery, the beer “must come from a brewery that brews
4
no more than 6 million barrels of beer per year, have under a quarter of the brewery owned or controlled by the alcoholic beverage industry, & has at least half of its volume in all malt beers.” Micro, macro & nano breweries all produce smaller quantities of beer annually & typically focus more on experimentation & variety. No matter the size of the craft brewery, craft beers stay true to the style & are usually packed with distinct, detectable flavours, aromas & characteristics.

C I D E R H A S B E E N R E P O R T E D LY D R U N K S I N C E B E F O R E T H E R O M A N S A R R I V E D. Cider-making & cider drinking has been a part of our culture for a long time, & by the middle ages, you could find cider apples all over Britain.
CIDER
Despite its popularity & deep history, it’s had it’s up’s & down’s. In recent years the rise of overly sweet, mass-produced cider has contributed to the drop in demand for ‘real cider’ & has seen a considerable decline in popularity over recent years. But there is hope for the cider lovers. The UK is now leading the charge in characterful & artisanal cider-making. The craft beer movement has helped the modern cider industry in no small part. Due to increased demand, many small UK producers can now produce credible, flavourful & innovative ciders to a more discerning & experimental customer, thus making a positive change to the cider industry. As an Independent Drinks Distributor, Inn Express offers a large variety of ciders. Whether it’s a classic brand like Thatchers, Weston’s & Magners or something a little more innovative & contemporary such as Hogan’s or the Cotswold Cider Co – our cider range is guaranteed to satisfy your customer’s needs. Consumers are being driven to this category through draught & premium ciders as they explore new flavours & styles. Draught fruit cider, in particular, is seeing strong growth. We have a great range to ensure you can take advantage of this trend & offer a second fruit tap alongside the more traditional apple. Even if you don’t have room for draught or have limited taps, bottled or canned cider can help you take advantage of a market that’s back in growth. It’s a great time to review your range & benefit from this new-found love for cider.

SOFT DRINKS GETTING VERY HARD TO IGNORE? HOW IT ALL STARTED
HOW IT’S ALL GOING
1767, Joseph Priestly invents Soda Water & is believed to be a cure for various illnesses because natural, carbonated water contained healing powers. Soft drinks soon outgrew their origins in the medical world & 1845, R Whites Lemonade went on sale in the UK. Early 20th Century sees soda bottle sales increase exponentially in 6 packs & vending machines. This grows again in the second half of the 20thCentury as soft drinks are canned. Consumption doubles from 1970 – 2000 with more & more flavours introduced & with Sugar levels high, Diet variants are more widely introduced.
To avoid large price increases due to the Sugar tax in 2018, many soft drinks manufacturers reformulated their range to lower sugar levels & avoid the levy. As consumer demands change & the category’s premiumisation continues, many brands are now looking to promote both “All Natural” sweeteners & flavours. Raissa de Haas, the co-founder of Double Dutch Drinks, says the government’s soft drinks industry levy has “definitely set a wave for people to become more health conscious”.

SPIRITS & LIQUEURS: OUR MOST D I V E R S E & E V O LV I N G C AT E G O R I E S . But those two words ‘spirits & liqueurs’ sound so simple when you say them but combined, they include some of the worlds most famous brands & also some of the worlds oldest products. But what’s the difference?
SPIRITS
LIQUEURS
Noun: the liquid containing ethanol & water that is distilled from an alcoholic liquid or mash — often used in plural
Noun: a usually sweetened alcoholic liquor (such as brandy) flavoured with fruit, spices, nuts, herbs, or seeds
In their most traditional sense are made from grains or other plants, with the main six ‘pure spirits’ being gin, vodka, brandy, tequila, rum & whisky (or whiskey depending on your location), all of which have a high alcohol content of usually over 38% ABV.
Probably the oldest of all high-strength alcoholic beverages, liqueurs were originally the preserve of monks who produced them primarily for medicinal purposes.
Made through distillation using an alcoholic liquid made using a fermentation process; this liquid is then placed in a still where the alcohol is extracted in a relatively high concentrate, resulting in a pure distilled spirit.
The first written record of a liqueur belongs to Kummel in 1575, but many knew that certain religious orders had produced elixirs for centuries before this date.

So, makes an ale? With the only discernible difference from Lager being a super eukaryotic, single-celled micro-organisms (yeast to you & us!), It’s understandable why sometimes the lines become very blurred with the terms & names for each style! Ale yeasts do well in the warm & Lager in the cold. Both are fermented & then taken down to a lower temperature to finish off, with Lager being taken colder & left for longer. As a result, Lager is clean, bright & refreshing (usually served cold) & ale, complex, chewy & darker (often served closer to room temperature). Stout also technically falls into the ale category.

Allsopp’s has been through a lot over the last three centuries. We’ve had our beer impounded by Napoleon. We brewed the original Burton India Pale Ale in a teapot. We’ve even sent our beer to the Arctic to rescue explorers. What finished us off was building England’s largest lager brewery in the 1880’s, a bold move ahead of its time.

HOW DRINKS WHOLESALE SHOULD BE DONE
Our ethos is to explore the potential that the cider apple can offer us. We have unashamedly taken a leaf out of the craft beer brewers’ book by using different yeast strains, (Brettanomyces in Killer Sharp), some wild yeasts, different fermentation techniques, (keeving used in French Revelation), & being selective with the addition of other complementary ingredients (Chinook & Cascade Hops in HipHop, Elderflower in Wild Elder). The result is a very diverse range with highly distinctive characteristics. We don’t use apple or pear concentrate, nor do we add sugars prior to fermentation. Only using cider apples & perry pears means our drinks are complex & refreshing.
We’re Asahi UK & our aim is to bring discovery & experience to every occasion in the UK & Ireland. We’re home to original, authentic beers & ciders with brewing heritage & pioneering spirit.
