Writing on Instagram, he said he was “bricking it.”
“I’m opening a beer shop, it's been a long, long, long time coming,” he added.
“It’s something I’ve wanted to do ever since seeing craft breweries like Meantime and Brewdog while working in Morrisons, it also got me into lots of continental breweries.
“I’d like to thank friends, family and folks in the industry for their kind messages, it really does mean the world.
“I’m absolutely bricking it but I can’t wait for it to be open.”
Beer Central was launched by Sean Clarke and Deborah Jackson on the market’s first day in November 2013.
It was taken over by Megan Lindop in September 2024 and Vince worked there before it closed in March of this year.
Vince revealed he’d had “business help” from Sean in launching Barrel & Anvil.
He also listed local breweries that would be “permanent fixtures” including Emmanuales, Bradfield Brewery, Abbeydale Brewery, Ashover Brew Co and Neepsend Brewery because they produced “great core beers with banging specials too!”
