Microbrewery bosses bid for late weekend licence

A YATE microbrewery’s bid to serve alcohol late into the night has drawn fire from a concerned resident, who warns the site could 'easily become a party venue' if a new licence is granted.

The proposal from Tangent Brewing Company would allow on-site drinking until 11.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays despite the brewery being located in the heart of an industrial estate.

Tangent Brewing Company Limited, based at 55 Waverley Road, has applied for a premises licence permitting both on and off-site alcohol sales.

The application proposes alcohol sales from 9am to 5pm Monday to Thursday, with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays to accommodate public access and events.

It notes that weekday hours would primarily serve online sales, with no public access during those times.
