The Colonsay music festival - enough to make anyone smile]]> http://www.colonsaybrewery.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry121005-164742 2012-10-05T00:00:00Z 2012-10-05T00:00:00Z http://www.colonsaybrewery.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry121005-163133 2012-10-05T00:00:00Z 2012-10-05T00:00:00Z However the work is suffering. One of our customers has been billed for only half their delivery - another has not been billed at all for several months.
So no booze from now on - well perhaps not any on invoices day to start with.
To our customers - Sorry.]]> http://www.colonsaybrewery.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry120927-165552 2012-09-27T00:00:00Z 2012-09-27T00:00:00Z In the meantime look at

says 80/ is a 10 out of 10. :-)]]> http://www.colonsaybrewery.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry120923-125605 2012-09-23T00:00:00Z 2012-09-23T00:00:00Z There was quite a laid back feel to the first part of the festival we thought - then Manran turned up on a rib on Saturday night and caused a storm that will echo round the island for weeks to come. They really are superb.]]> http://www.colonsaybrewery.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry120919-125352 2012-09-19T00:00:00Z 2012-09-19T00:00:00Z We've been sampling -- and it is bloody marvellous. We can't wait for the festival fun to start and the, hopefully, good feedback from the music loving beer drinkers. We just need the second hand pull to arrive....we fear one will not be enough.]]> http://www.colonsaybrewery.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry120906-104953 2012-09-06T00:00:00Z 2012-09-06T00:00:00Z Surprising as it is, being the producer of some of the most expensive beer in Britain (Geography dear boy Geography), we are on course to have record sales of beer this year in both our on sales and off sales outlets. We had beer at the Olympics - sadly not competing - and a list of outlets from wholesalers that could never have been achieved from here.
The music festival's round the corner - then winter - so no excuse not to get the blog fired up again and give a little insight into our challenging but hugely rewarding (not cash sadly) business.

One had left the correct cash - the other an IOU which they came back today and settled.
Imagine if Tennants forgot to lock up at Wellpark - I bet there would not be much left by the morning.
Colonsay looting - close the door carefully after you and leave the right money. Looks to us like a good way of cutting the wage bill.]]> http://www.colonsaybrewery.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry120412-151404 2012-04-12T00:00:00Z 2012-04-12T00:00:00Z Royal Miles Whiskies, which also owns the expanding Drinkmonger Chain, got a delivery from us yesterday and they were saying the beer is shifting in all their outlets -- but the IPA is going down particularly well in London - perhaps we should sponsor the Olympics.]]> http://www.colonsaybrewery.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry120323-180037 2012-03-23T00:00:00Z 2012-03-23T00:00:00Z I know that this is not the cutting edge of logistics but a real milestone for a wee brewery that has largely been operating out of the back of family vehicles and the local carrier.We are aiming to significantly ramp up production this year and its starting to look as though it may work.]]> http://www.colonsaybrewery.co.uk/blog/index.php?entry=entry120320-175728 2012-03-20T00:00:00Z 2012-03-20T00:00:00Z
