Falmouth will soon be getting a new beer shop as LAUTER gets closer to opening.

LAUTER is a bottleshop and brewspace set up and run by Lucy and Simon, the shop will sell craft beer and brewing equipment.

The on-site brewspace will be hosting brewing workshops and events, for beer enthusiasts and would-be homebrewers.

Lucy and Simon are two friends with dreams of opening a shop who have a real passion for beer.

A few years ago Lucy moved to Falmouth where she began running an acclaimed local craft beer bar and bottleshop. From there, she became an original employee of Verdant Brewing Co.

Simon has been running pubs for 15 years, and before moving to Cornwall worked at London's largest taproom and bottleshop (Beer Merchants Tap).

The pair have invested considerable time and money so far, they have found the site and hope to sign the lease in the next two weeks.

However, they need more help and have set up a fundraiser to, "build LAUTER into so much more than just a simple beer shop."

With the target set at £10,000 they have received donations totalling £2,597 so far.

Simon and Lucy said:

"Our central aim in opening a bottleshop + brewspace is to create a beautiful and welcoming space for everyone from the newly-curious to the beer aficionado.

"We want to pay back our years of experience in the beer industry, customer service, and business management; providing the freshest beers in the UK and teaching the joys of brewing it yourself.

"Whilst a significant percentage of craft beer and homebrewing sales have moved online (where we will also have a strong presence), there is still real demand for a more personable, tailored, and knowledgeable buying experience.

"LAUTER will fulfil both a current, local need for a quality beer offering and provide the engaged community with exciting new beer and brewing experiences."
