No Break-in At The Brewery - Nothing Stolen 
Thursday, April 12, 2012, 03:14 PM
Island life - who would believe it. We left the office yesterday in a rush, honest it does happen - and forgot to lock up. Brewery left overnight with the door open.
Today when we arrived it was obvious that at least two lots of folk had been in and taken beer. 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.

The Colonsay Hotel is now reopen full time for the summer season -- so guess where we are headed tonight. This week has had a good feel to it -- new customers found, old customers ordering and our island watering hole reopened.
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.

How flash is that - the pallets were uplifted - transported - and delivered to the right places at the right times.
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.

Brewery history made today when TWO PALLETS of beer were sent out to customers -- this was the first of our mainland distribution and was all done by fax from the brewery. Some chance of it arriving at its destinations

cloisters Success

Success up to a point. The Cloisters took two casks of IPA - loved them and sold them. Now one of the casks is missing. Not a fantstically profitable deal then.
However its a great bar, on Brougham Street in Edinburgh -- good beers and good food. Kind of like pubs used to be, without the smoke.
