An independent Farsley brewery has launched a crowdfunding appeal to expand its taproom and kitchen collaboration.
Amity Brew Co is looking to raise £50,000 as part of its ‘FAMITY’ reward scheme, supporting a major refurbishment of its Farsley taproom at Sunny Bank Mills.
The transformation, set to launch in summer 2025, will see the space evolve into a full-time hospitality venue, offering all-day food and an enhanced customer experience.
The ambitious project will include a complete refit of the lower level brewery space.
A key change is the introduction of a brand-new kitchen in partnership with James Ooi, the innovative concept from the founder of Little Bao Boy.
The revamped taproom will also boast increased seating, additional toilet facilities and a dedicated upstairs event and workspace.
As Amity Brew Co relocates its brewing operations three miles down the road to Greengates, this move presents an exciting opportunity to transform the Farsley venue into a vibrant, all-day community hub.
“Our taproom is going to fulfil its beery destiny as a true centre for our community,” said Verity Clarke at Amity Brew Co. “This isn’t just about expanding our space—it’s about creating a welcoming destination for beer lovers, foodies, and local businesses alike.”
Supporters of the FAMITY crowdfunder will receive exclusive perks, including a lifetime 10% discount on purchases at the Amity Taproom and online shop, 120% of their donation back in bar credits, a digital credit card to track and redeem rewards and a new loyalty scheme redeemable for future drinks at the Farsley or new Greengates taproom.
Russ Clarke, Co-Founder of Amity Brew Co., added: “This project is more than just a refurbishment; it’s about bringing people together over great beer in a space designed for our community.”
Richard Degnan, Co-Founder of Amity Brew Co., commented: “Our first crowdfunder back in 2022 overfunded by 180% and is still talked about today by our customers as they really appreciated the chance to be actively involved in our growth.
“We hope in these challenging times that this crowdfund is just as successful, but we’re not taking anything for granted!”
