Surf For Fun - Find Out What They Are Saying About us 
Friday, January 15, 2010, 10:01 AM
If the brewery had a computor we might spend endless hours researching new products and markets and contacting potential customers and all that sort of business stuff. The downside of this would be that people may order more beer and we would have to brew it. Its fine in the summer when the brewery doors are wide open and the sun shines in, passing visitors stop to have a chat and occasionally we even get the chance to sit outside in the warm at the end of the day and have a pint in as the sun sets pouring a bucket of red glow over the island of Jura to our East. But really in the winter. No when we have to brew at this time of year its a nightmare of cold, dark and forbidding --- and that's just the brewers.

Here we are at the dawn of a new decade - the festivities on the island are in full swing and nyet we know that just arround the corner the long haul of winter is waiting to snare our happy spirits and sink us into the gloom of dark days, nothing much happening and non stop gales. But heyho - we've a brewery, lots of stock and time on our hands - - I see a way forward.

Festival Marred By Massive Theft

A tale of two nights:

We had a fesitval fringe this year - Pede's tent - in which we errected a small bar to help ease the crush of people waiting for the stage to be turned round for the next act.
On Friday night the bar was all laid out and a bowl full of cash was sitting in the middole of the table because we thought the bar person was about to arrive. In the event money and booze sat for ages and all was well. The next night - no cash but we think (think) someone knicked 6 bottles of lager! Like to think not but we are fairly sure. Anyway lets hope they enjoyed it.

Fabulous Fesitval Fun

To those of you who know our little island there will be no difficulty in persuading you that it is truly a piece of heaven on earth. This weekend - to keep the metaphor going - we have been serenaded by angels, albeit ones that rather like a drop of the old Whyte and McKay's.
It has been four days of the best ever music with the likes of Ali Bain and Phil Cunningham - Karen Matheson and Donald Shaw - Kris Drever, John McCusker and a fantastic harmonica player -- plus for us the band of the weekend Breabach - You Tube them.
It’s a great weekend for us particularly because we get instant feedback for our product from the customers direct. Not wishing to sound big headed but to say the stuff goes down well is an understatement.
Even better its very satisfying to stand at the pier shed on Sunday night as they all depart off into the gloom onto LoTi and recognise them going as "pint of 80/- and a nip please" and our very favourites - the group of girls that were buying 7 pints of IPA at a time. Why were there no girls like that when we were young?



Here are Breabach (two pints of IPA and two 80/- please - certainly sir no charge).

This year none of us woke after nightmares of all night parties or bar lock ins -- we must be getting old.
