Galldachd na h-Alba is hosting a tapas and music night on the 15th of December at Sunnybrae in Moffat. This will kick off with the reveal of the first beers and the investor share prospectus. Research is well under way to develop a unique flavour with the hope that when the brewery opens in January 2018 trading can commence right away. The festive event will allow the locals of Moffat, Lockerbie and the surrounding areas to sample first-hand what the brewery will be producing next year. As well as this they will have the opportunity to be part of a local project that has huge potential to not only boost the local economy but to provide employment opportunities down the line. The investor share prospectus outlines the key areas of the brewery and where it will be in 5, 10 years’ time.
Further details of the event will follow but it is hoped that the interest of locals will be sparked by a fine tasting brew.
Brewery update 16th October 2017
change of use in Local Paper last week, hope to have AOK in November.
650 litre brewing equipment ordered, arrive mid January.
Tests ongoing in Moffat on brew recipe over winter.
