What a year 2023 was…from almost having my foot amputated (but 2 rides in a helicopter) to brewing very small batches from a wheelchair To walking around (with a bad limp but still) to opening and running the Winter bar on Gigha. Here’s to 2024 and all it brings with it…more fishing I hope…hope you all had a great new year and hope to see you all soon! This photo is me booking a band for @thesoundofgigha so that’s bands booked, djs booked and planning is under way! See you all at the bar…#isleofgigha #hebrides #craftnotcrap #brokentalus

One off keg incoming. 7.4% New England IPA using my 2 favourite hops Citra and Calypso. Also a healthy dose of THIOL powder (isolated from Sauvignon Blanc grape skins) fermented with @bootlegbiology BBXNPA yeast. Super proud to present “I can hear Banjos” on in the bar in 2 weeks.

We grew Fuggles. This is year 2 for this plant that started its life in an empty beer keg in a courtyard in the Gorbals. Now it’s growing in our Croft garden in the Hebrides. #hops #fuggles #microbrewery #gardening #isleofgigha #greenhopale #craftnotcrap

Spring is definitely on its way! So here is our new IPA chillin among the snowdrops @achamoregardensgigha ! It’s our first Thiolized beer (here come the science part) Thiols are highly impactful aromatic compounds that can evoke intense tropical, citrus character reminiscent of juicy passion fruit, pink guava, and freshly zested grapefruit peel. The term “Thiolized” refers to yeast strains that have the ability to biotransform the thiol precursors found in malt, hops, and grape-derived products into free thiols (the aroma) Available soon! #isleofgigha #microbrewery #hebrides #snowdropseason #snowdrops #craftnotcrap
