We are the oldest Brewery in Flintshire

Dave Facer started his own brewery in Salford, Greater Manchester in February 2003, sharing premises and equipment with Bazens' Brewery, which had itself started a few months earlier. In 2005 Dave and wife Annette decided to move home (and hence brewery) to Flintshire. The new Facer's Brewery started production in Flint in February 2006.

Brewing - A life's work !

Dave's first job in a brewery was in 1977 in the Quality Control Lab at Wilson's Brewery in Manchester. He later became a fully fledged Brewer and when Wilson's closed he joined Tetley's Brewery in Leeds followed by stints at Chester's of Salford and Whitbread at Samlesbury before becoming a Brewer at Boddington's in 1991. In 1999 Dave was appointed Head Brewer at Boddington's. He left in February 2003 to start Facer's Brewery.
