Tiny Rebel is hoping to build sales of its award winning craft ales around the world now that it has moved into its new brewery in Newport.

The newly renovated site opened last month and contains a 65,000 sq ft brewery, cafe and bar that can hold up to 450 people.

The brewery will give Tiny Rebel capacity to expand production and boost sales, and it is keen to build on its relationships with importers and wholesalers around the world.

Tiny Rebel was launched by Bradley Cummings and Gareth Williams in 2012, after they had previously started brewing in their garage as a hobby.

Since then the company has seen nothing but growth and last year was named the Best UK Brewery at the International Beer Challenge.

In the past five years the company has launched 70 different beers and it already sells its products in 30 countries across the globe.

"In just five years we have gone from home-brewing in a garage to a purpose-built, world class facility. What was most important to us was to create a space for people to enjoy what Tiny Rebel represents," said Mr Cummings.

"By opening the new site we’ve also been able to support the local economy, creating 20 jobs for people in the surrounding area."

Lesley Williams, regional director for global transaction banking at Lloyds Bank which helped finance the expansion, said: “Turning your hobby into a successful business is just a dream for many people, but the team at Tiny Rebel have made it a reality.”
