"Now Sonas – a business development company – has relinquished all interest, handing back control of the 25-barrel cask ale plant to the couple as sole directors and opening a fresh chapter in its multi-award-winning story.”
Mr Hughes said Acorn had become successful in a challenging business environment. He added: “Now, we are set to steer the brewery once again with pride, determination, and innovation.”
