What Is a Micropub? (And How I Ended Up Opening One)

[@michaelcoughlin8238]

I had hoped to SEE your Micropub, having never heard of one before. It seemed that would be fitting considering the title.

Please forgive the super slow reply here. Haven't been active on KZbin for a good while. Good point! There's a few more videos I made where I show what the pub looks like.

My passion for wanting to do this is not going away, please continue with your vlog , much appreciated

[@thestagandlantern]

Cheers Dylan! And best of luck if go for it! Hoping to post something within the next few days too…

Did you ever take the plunge? My wife and I are about to embark on the journey, in Heathfield, East Sussex and are always keen on hearing others' experience.

[@dylanjonesbragdybachhomebrew]

@colingilham1312 unfortunately not, I'm disappointed but the footfall around here is tourist based, I think it would die a death during Winter..

Just found this and your story resonates. I came across micro pubs in around 2013 and the idea has always stuck with me. Life for in the way but now actively pursuing the goal. So yeah keep up the videos and content.

[@thestagandlantern]

Cheers Ross. Glad you enjoyed. I need to start posting more (I've been a bit useless over the last few months) any suggestions of videos you want to see please let me know!

Well done for opening your micropub in the midst of a pandemic! We filmed a lot of London & South East area micropubs for our documentary including The Dodo, The Little Green Dragon and The River Ale House. We finished last year, otherwise we would have LOVED to follow your journey. We'll have to come check out The Stag & Lantern in very near future. :)

[@thestagandlantern]

Thank you so much for the kind words! Funny how it ended up being the worst time in history to open one up… but it makes for a good story ha! And definitely let us know when you plan to swing by!

[@squidshackstudios]

@@thestagandlantern It totally does make a good story! We are so proud of all the micropubs that have gone through the pandemic over the last 18 months, and have managed to keep business going. We'd love to pop in at some point for sure! If you've seen our documentary, do let us know what you thought of it. Always interested to get feedback from the micropub community. :)

Looking forward to being able to have a drink inside very soon and to the relaxation of the booking rule.

[@thestagandlantern]

Us too Mike!

Love your work, mate! I’m about to start work today on a similar place in Bristol. Look forward to watching your progress as we open back up again.

[@thestagandlantern]

Hi John, apologies for the delay in my reply. Haven't checked the channel for a while! How's things going with the place in Bristol? Best of luck!

[@brownale1000]

Cheers very enjoyable video subscribed 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@thestagandlantern]

Thanks! Debating whether or not it's worth making some more videos again...

How did you get the money in the end? Was it a loan or was it just like renting another property out?
