We've added these lovely summery beers to the website just recently, great offerings from @StewartBrewing @FL_Brewery @pilotbeeruk and @moonwakebeer #CraftBeer #independentbreweries
So we've just found out that because we, like many other small businesses, can't afford to drop five figures on a new vehicle whenever we feel like it, we will not be allowed into Glasgow City Centre because of the Low Emission Zone. Thanks @scotgov
Still doesn't help the retailers who sell INTO Scotland, also coming in with only a week left to sign up is too little too late
Circularity Scotland has announced £22 million of support measures to help Scotland’s brewers, distillers, importers and drinks manufacturers prepare for the introduction of Scotland’s deposit return scheme.

Just an update on this, we've had three 'maybes', one 'what's that then?' and 12 'nopes' so far.
Sent out my emails today to see how many of the breweries we work with closely are signing up to the #DepositReturnScheme. So far batting 100 as all of them who have decided have decided not to. Just like that, our entire packaged business will almost totally evaporate in August

Just added some great new craft cans from our great friends at @ennerdalebrew, great to see more traditional breweries getting into the craft game #craftbeer #cumbrianbeer #supportsmallbusiness #supportindependents #supportbreweries
A perfect encapsulation of the reality of the DRS
This Post is from an account that no longer exists. Learn more
Spending a day researching the DRS for our future business. An overcomplicated, bureaucratic nightmare that seems to have no real benefit in a country where doorstep recycling is everywhere. Plus, you can only register between 01/01 and 01/03 each year?
For what is likely a small part of their overall sales total. Why should Verdant for example, rebrand all of their cans and pay these fees for their sales north of the border if it is only a small percentage of all their overall take? Choice suffers for all customers.
Also yet to see much from @CAMRA_Official on this, do the Scottish branches not fear for the lack of support for independent breweries who rely as much on packaged sales as their cask? @GlasgowCAMRA?
As if the DRS wasn't going to cause enough harm to Scotland's great independent brewing industry, this new policy to restrict alcohol advertising is another nail in the coffin. Why does the Scottish Government seem so hellbent on killing the industry?
