Coming Soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it’s being a while since we posted our welcome on here and we’ve come a long way since.  Although the website (if the holding page isn’t up) doesn’t look much yet it will do over the next couple of weeks.

We’re really happy with where we’ve got to over the last few months and are now actively working with various breweries and a couple of cider producers who will hopefully be selling through our site from the moment we go live.  We’ll announce each of these in the run up to go live or when they start to sell on the site if it’s after this date.

We are now taking enquiries from the trade about our services though at the moment our business will be more dominant in the north of England, mainly Cheshire, Merseyside, Lancashire and Yorkshire.  This will change quickly as we spread our net of vendors.  Please email us at enquiries@therealalecompany.co.uk if you are involved in selling beers, ciders or perrys in any form (cask, bottle, polypin etc) for further details.

The public will be able to buy direct from our site once we go live and we hope to confirm that date very soon.

Thanks The Team @ www.therealalecompany.co.uk
