      • Get Lade Inn
        07/17/08
        Made the first delivery to the Lade Inn Scottish Beer Shop near Callender. What a place. It has, now, literally every beer brewed in Scotland by the independent sector. It was a bit of a nightmare as our beer sale turned into a bit of a cash negative beer swap. We found beers we had heard of but ne

      • This Guy Gave Some IPA To This Other Guy...........
        07/16/08
        Not earth shattering ... just an indication of how the brewery puts Colonsay on the map a little more than it might be without it. Someone, who knows Colonsay, gave a mini keg of IPA to someone who knows Colonsay a little.....who gave it to someone who doesn't know Colonsay. Come on keep up
        So

      • The Things You Find On The Internet
        07/11/08
        Calm down - not that sort of thing. We were looking for an online picture of Colonsay's bottling of Bruichladdich Whisky - it’s a long and not very interesting story. Anyway - Googled Colonsay and Whisky and up popped some whisky blog with this entry -

      • Splice the Mainbrace
        07/10/08
        At long last we have got the beer on board the boat that is the mainstay of our summer ferry service. Calmac ordered yesterday and the beer was duly pout on board at lunchtime meaning you can now have a pint of the island's finest while travelling to the island. And what better way to ease into isla

      • 80 Bob runs dry
        07/07/08
        It is now official - we have run out of bottled 80/- ale. Having concluded that seasonality means the warm weather sees a drop in 80/- sales and an increase in IPA we fine tuned production accordingly only to be thwarted by ongoing and bouyant dark ale sales.
        Bottling tomorrow - not a day too s
