Column Craft was created in March 2019 by Ant Ryan at a launch party in The Scrap Yard, Liscard. Their first and most notable gin is Gravity Gin. They have since expanded their businesses in 30 venues across Wirral, Liverpool and Cheshire. They now have three flavoured Gravity Gins, one Relativity Rum, and have created bespoke spirits for other local businesses.

In 2020 Dave Maloney came on board, also with a background in science. Both the guys have chosen to leave their labs and have decided to make this their full time carers.  Column Craft Ltd will be expanding into making Vodka, a completely new creation called VLABC, plus another Rum. Plans are also underway to make at least two beers, with their Big Bang Brewery project.

“Local community is sincerely important, supporting independents and genuine, hardworking people comes naturally to us, plus that combination makes for a more unique and authentic experience for customers, who also generally want to support locals. We use “New Brighton, Wallasey, Wirral, Merseyside…” on our product labels, to cement our commitment to our area, and this is how we hope to grow our brands organically – outwards from their Wirral home.”
