      • New order firmed up
        03/24/08
        After a couple of calls and a visit by the boss our new Oban outlet places its first order for lager and 80/- kegs.
        It is going to take a few days to get fonts freed up but the first delivery is scheduled for early next month.

        Easter visitors are everywhere and the till in the brewer

      • Some Orders and Harder to get than Others
        03/21/08
        After some days of talks we finally reach agreement with the Colonsay Hotel to get all three of our beers on sale permanently. Its odd the nearest is sometimes the most difficult. But they know us and we know them and ..... anyway the deals done and the current two beers will be joined by a third on

      • New Outlet for Colonsay Draught in Oban
        03/20/08
        We have all but clinched a deal to have Colonsay 80/- and Colonsay Lager on sale in a top Oban outlet from as soon as we can get our act together.
        We have extra capacity - 50 per cent more than last year - but we rather fear we may have some 70 per cent more beer.
        Damn - back to an on goin

      • Silence from Peckhams shattered by an Order
        03/19/08
        We know if we are bad in this life something awful happens in the next. So it must be with Anne from Peckhams. She single-handedly has to manage the stocks of their chain of fantastic delis across the central belt which sounds straight forward. Imagine keeping tabs on the thousands of items stocked

        Rose Murray Brown's peice in the Scotsman prompts a call from the Port Charlotte Hotel in Islay asking aboun the possibility of supply.Yes I know I've told you already but some people might not have read it.

      • Green Welly Man speaks out
        03/14/08
        About a year aftyer getting the knock back from the Green Welly stop in Tyndrum - highlighted in the blog - someone from the gaff emails us to offer advice on how to pronounce the name of the village. It is Tyndrum as in Tin of beans, he says.
        Anyway always one to take a chance I email back and

      • Sales Sailing Away
        03/08/08
        We have an intriguing potential customer. Just how difficult can a delivery be? Our "neighbour", a hotel in Islay is keen to stock our draught IPA. How far are they away? About 20 miles perhaps. Only to get the draught there we would have to take it by Calmac to Oban, drive round to Kintyr

      • Glasgow Farmers Market
        03/06/08

        The brewery will not be at the farmers market this week - the licencing board has no knowledge of our application. They are fine. The post office I'm not so sure about (apart from the one here which is 100%). Anyone want to buy some beer - special discounts available?

      • Blog read by someone shock
        03/02/08
        A much cleverer person than us has been reading the blog and it seems Rose's article is online - just the blog man's too stupid to find it.
