Blakemore promotes ‘Best of British’ in new alcohol catalogue

Retailers seeking to focus on their British alcohol offering can now use a new catalogue from Blakemore Fine Foods to get their range right.

The catalogue includes more than 400 products from more than 80 different distilleries, cider mills and breweries.

The range includes products from long-established producers such as Yorkshire’s oldest brewery Samuel Smith to newcomers such as Tiny Rebel, the creators of Cwtch.

It will be distributed to 1,500 retailers, independent pubs and farm shops. Key lines are also set to be sold into Spar stores.

Caoire Blakemore, commercial director for Blakemore Fine Foods, said Britain now has more breweries per person than anywhere else in the world and the catalogue would give them access to a wider market.

“We are doing what nobody else is currently doing in the marketplace by bringing such a comprehensive range of quality British alcohol together with customers able to order bulk, gift packs or single bottles,” she added.

Retailers can order the range online or over the phone. Orders must be worth a minimum of £150.
