Hops and Dots Brew Co. was founded with a love of beer and braille. Before I founded Hops and Dots with my good friend Hugh, I was known mostly for my knowledge of braille, especially the production of braille and the use of technology.
The beers we produce are intended to be accessible and tasty (obviously); but brewing is something I am still learning from and making mistakes (like taking the wrong valve of a pressurised tank). The braille (dots) has been my specialism for a long time now - it is my day job.
As we set-up our new brewery and tap-room we want to expand our approach to making everything we do as accessible as possible. We also intend to become a community focussed business that engages with our local community, especially with those who experience sight loss.
As a small operation we haven't kept up with demand with regards to the hops and the dots but we hope both of those things change very soon! We do have some exciting announcements to make very soon too.
With regards to the dots, a little while when I worked in Middlesbrough (where we also founded Hops and Dots), I was asked by the Royal Institute Of the Blind to put some short articles together for professionals on the Unified English Braille (UEB) code. I wanted to share as I am always banging on about hops. As many will attest I have a hop problem - Mmmmm Strata! See!
