The Boss - Keith Johnston
does all the figures and speaks to the important people. When he’s
not moving and shaking round the brewery he may be found at various
times delivering the island mail, working at the pier on ferry days,
and most importantly in Corncrake Towers editing the island’s
web newspaper.
The Brewer - Rob Pocklington
learned about beer and the brewing business at his father’s
knee and became such an expert he started a building business. Now
back with his first love of brewing he wishes he’d never laid
a brick in his life. When not employed at the brewery Bob is a fireman,
occasional oyster farmhand, golf course green keeper, bed and breakfast
host, councillor and construction consultant.
The Other Brewer - Chris
Nisbet is Colonsay’s Island Development Officer but as nothing
much has happened here for the last 25 years we often wonder what
he does. When he’s not developing the island or brewing he runs
his croft and is still finishing off building his own home. Chris
is also the assistant electricity supply engineer and a fireman. The
electricity job works well with brewing because when the power goes
off, the brewery grinds to a halt and Chris is free to go and fix
the fault. Chris also works on the pier at ferry times and seems to
spend a lot of time attending mainland conferences of strange organisations,
but at least he can bring some ingredients back with him.
The Skiver - David Johnston
does not live on the island but claims to be involved in selling our
range of great beers and lagers but we have our doubts. He does however
appear regularly - especially when there is tasting to be done.
