Sales have grown more than six-fold to almost £6 million as beer lovers save money in the cost of living crisis by serving £1.50 pints they have brewed at home from its specially developed keg.

Pinter tops the Lightning 50, a newly published list of the UK’s fastest growing e-commerce brands created by Brightpearl, a retail operating system.

Since launching in 2020, Pinter has amassed a community of 60,000 homebrewers and it has sold the equivalent of 3,900,000 pints. It was named a Time magazine invention of the year, and its Lost in Translation brown ale was voted best in the UK at the recent World Beer Awards, where the brand won five prizes.

Pinter co-founder and chief executive Ralph Broadbent said: “We are delighted to be named as the UK’s fastest growing online company by Brightpearl. It is a fantastic achievement to not only be recognised in the top 50, but also top this list. 

“Our business is building a platform that will change the way we drink beer at home, built on a foundation of sustainability, innovation and freshness. Where we have come in such a short space of time, is nothing short of incredible.

“We can’t wait to build on this growth and continue our mission to put Fresh Beer into the hands of as many people as possible, while igniting the love and passion for brewing.”
