There are hopes that a Cornish micro-brewery might re-open, following confirmation that the firm has been sold as a going concern.

The Rebel Brewery, of Penryn, closed in December after six years of successful trading - and high praise from beer drinkers.

Today one of the administrators, Alessandro Sidoli, told Cornwall Reports that the business now has a new owner.

“I am unable to release the details of the purchaser as creditors are yet to be advised,” he said. “These details will be available at Companies House in due course once the Joint Administrators' proposals have been finalised, circulated to creditors and then filed at Companies House.”

It is understood the business closed with undisclosed debts.  “These details will also be available at Companies House in due course,” said Mr Sidoli.
