Crowdfunding Update

We have launched our new English Vermouth, SCHOFIELD'S DRY, a collaboration with the world-renowned Schofield Brothers. We have been designing and blending it now for almost a year and it's great to get it finally out there and launched! It's quite a different style of Dry Vermouth, a criminally neglected category, and is packed with aromatic, bitterness, vibrant citrus notes and some intense floral aromas. We've tried to make a Dry Vermouth which can be the star of the show, and we think we've succeeded! More info below:

Created by two brothers in London for two brothers in Manchester.

A complex blend of botanicals infused in English white wine, SCHOFIELD’S Dry Vermouth is the perfect partner for your martini. Crisp, dry and aromatic.

Pour over ice and top with tonic and a lemon wedge, or stir into a classic martini and ease your way into the evening. Olive or lemon? You decide.

It is available via our online store, and through Speciality Drinks and Hammonds of Knutsford soon.

LAST FEW DAYS TO INVEST

It's been a great campaign on Crowdcube so far and we are over the moon with the progress, the feedback and the results. But all good things must come to an end, as they say!

We would really like to make these last few days count and are looking to overfund the campaign as high as we can. The more funding we manage to raise, the more quickly we can meet our targets by investing more funds into sales & marketing activity and strengthening the Asterley Bros team.

For the last few days of the campaign we wanted to give everyone as many chances as possible to meet us, ask questions or try the range, so we have a lot of activity planned this week:

This evening (Thursday 3rd October)
We are hosting a live Webinar Q&A this evening at 18:00 (BST), to register please see the link here: http://www.asterleybros.com/webinar

Friday 4th October
We will be at Wild Honey restaurant in Piccadilly between 4pm and 7pm so you can come meet us and try the Asterley Bros range, or perhaps some Wild Honey vermouth and an aged Asterley Bros Negroni? If you are planning on attending we would love to hear from you on info@asterleybros.com to let us know. However if you just find yourself in the Friday mood, and ready for an aperitif, this one is a drop-in session open to all.

Monday 7th October
Finally we will be attending the Crowdcube Investor Networking event at FORA, Spitalfields, E1 6BX. From 18:00 on Monday. We will have the Asterley Bros range to try, and you can join us and ask any questions you may have. More details and the registration link can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/crowdcube-investor-networking-event-tickets-73950037553

To those who have already invested, we would very much appreciate it if you could share this email with friends, family and colleagues.
To those who might still be deciding, please let us know if you have any questions at all, andfind the link to the campaign below

Either way: Thank you!
