A brewery and tap room will be the first in the city staffed by adults with learning disabilities.

The former Tapestry Brewery in Totterdown has been purchased by Props, a charity that supports people with disabilities to gain work skills. The new owners want to create “a profitable enterprise” that can provide “real and meaningful” work opportunities for its trainees.

Their mission is to “break boundaries” around disabled people working. Props purchased the Tapestry Brewery after it went into liquidation earlier this year and under the new ownership it will be called Tapestry by Props.
