Winners!👏🏆 What a wonderful evening for our team at the East Midlands Business Awards!
Murphy & Son Managing Director Charles Nicholds, after winning the Business of the Year Award said: “It’s such an accolade - never in our wildest dreams did we think we’d win. In the 2019 to 2022 period things were tough, but we’ve come out on the other side. We’ve grown in staff, in stature, we’ve grown in turnover and in profits too.
“We couldn’t do what we do without our team. We’ve invested heavily in expansion over the last year and a half. We’ve upskilled staff and done a lot of training. We’ve got high hopes for 2025 and our five-year plan is to double in size. We’ve just taken on a brand new warehouse and we’re going to be running multiple sites.”

We’ve got a new video up.
This time we’re joined by Fran from Murphy & Son @murphys1887 to answer some common questions about the brewing process.
We talk water chemistry, beer clarity, sanitation, hygiene problems in the brewhouse and how to approach gluten-free beer.
Plenty of useful advice here for homebrewers and small breweries looking to improve consistency and avoid common issues.
Watch now on YouTube.
Happy Brewing 🍻
Most beer faults aren’t created at the end of the process — they start much earlier.
Clarity issues, flavour instability, and oxidation are often the result of compounds that could have been managed in the mash or boil. Taking control at that stage gives you a quieter fermentation, smoother processing, and a more stable final beer. It’s not about adding more steps. It’s about making the right interventions at the right time. When proteins, polyphenols, and trace metals are handled early, everything downstream benefits — from filtration performance to shelf life in package.
There are tools designed to support this approach, but the principle stays the same: build quality in from the start, rather than correcting it later.

“Confidence in Europe’s carbon dioxide (CO₂) supply is declining as heavy reliance on a small number of production hubs leaves the system exposed to disruption.”
Gasworld, Carbon Dioxide News, 19 March 2026
Take control of your gas supply.
With CO₂ availability increasingly uncertain, on‑site nitrogen generation removes reliance on external gas deliveries altogether. Pneumatech nitrogen generators give consistent purity, predictable costs, and full supply independence whatever happens upstream.

Episode 3 of Brew‑Do is live today 🍺
This week will be Brett's oxidation problem.
A proper conversation around a problem no brewery escapes forever.
See you there 🔍

#BrewDo #MurphyAndSon #Brewing #BrewingIndustry #Oxidation
Ever noticed your pale ale tasting a bit... tired after a few weeks on the shelf?
That's oxidation doing its thing. Iron and copper in your brewing water & malt create reactive oxygen species that chip away at hop aroma, fresh flavour, and even colour - from the very moment they get introduced to each other.
MashLife stops that.
It's a natural pomegranate extract that binds those metals before they cause any damage. Add it in the kettle, and it starts protecting your beer from Day 1.
The result? → Hop bitterness that actually lasts → Fresh flavour during storage and transport → Better resistance to sunlight (No skunky off-flavours) → Pale beers that stay pale.
And no — it doesn't add any pomegranate flavour or colour. Just protection.
This April, all featured Murphy & Son products are discounted as part of our 10 Years, 10 Suppliers celebration. MashLife included.

Just a heads-up for anyone sending samples our way.
We won’t be accepting deliveries at the Sutton Bonington lab on Good Friday or Easter Monday.
If you’ve got samples ready to go, get them in sooner rather than later so everything runs smoothly.
Thanks a bunch for working with us and have a cracking Easter weekend.
