Beer is a living thing - it's just like a person - turns out different depending on how is is brought up.
We we reckon the 80/- Ale that has just been bottled is the best we have prodiced to date. It just seems to be better balanced that we have managed before and its gone straight onto draught at the hotel andn has been going down a treat.

Remember we told you we had ordered a new fermenter. Well we came close (ish) to getting a free one.
This fine specimin was washed ashore in Benbecula
Causing some concern until it was worked out exactly what it is.
Just think a few miles further south and we could have saved a fortune.
Still that's it for 2007.
What a year its been - a brewery up and running - quality ales and lager - and across the island for visitors and locals alike the required item of dress - a brewery zipper top.
More blogging next year - but for now its party time - Happy New Year - and may all your bottles be pint ones

In deepest East Lothian lies Scotland's finest farm shop selling a cornucopia of goodies from their own fields and further afield (ho ho).
It’s just been voted the farm shop of the year and has more awards that you could shake a stick of sprouts at.
For the next three days Under 20 Scotland Rugby International Angus Dixon is to be found there manning a stall selling - Scotland's most exclusive beer.
No that's not Angus - that’s Linda and Katie who run the shop - Angus is inside selling beer.

Following the success of our Corncrake in 80/- stew we had hoped to bring you another great Hebridean recipie - Wild Goose casserole in Colonsay IPA.
All was going well - Chris managed to run the goose over at Machrins corner, he paused only to sweep aside some of the broken windscreen from the dashboard - then dived out to pounce on his prey only to find it had flown off. So its back to the drawing board - but watch out geese - we're coming after you.

We may not be Amazon but we have been very active online in the run up to Christmas with the mainland hub buzzing to the sound of sticky tape (making up boxes).
Now it has come to an end. Our courier company SPDS, and their top man Romano, say enough is enough - if you have not got your Colonsay Beers yet you'll just have to go to Peckhams, or Locketts, or Peter Green or Cornelius and get them there. Peckhams had our beer on sale within 24 hours of it being delivered to the hub.
Merry Christmas.
