Saturday 2 May 2009

Firstly, we have some sad news to announce. Henley, the Brewery's Bernese Mountain Dog, owned by Paul H, passed peacfully away in his sleep after a short illness last Tuesday. Those of you who have been to the Brewery will have been greeted by him rolling over on his back for you to tickle his tummy! He was a great ambassador for Islay Ales and we know that many people across the world will miss him. We have now been going for five years. We had an event on the green to celebrate this milestone over the Easter Weekend. We were blessed with great weather and everyone had a wonderful time. The next big event of course is the Whisky Festival. The Bruichladdich beer has been made and even Kat remarked "Promising" when she tasted it! It will be launched on the Bruichladdich Day, Sunday 24 May, at the Festival. Our own day is Wednesday 27 May, starting at 11.00 in the morning and it will be a mix of beer tent, music, food, games, shops in the Sqaure open... and dont forget, ladies, the Islay Chocolate Company does its hand made chocolates in the shop next to the Brewery. If beer and chocolates are not sufficient incentive to come along and join in the fun, we dont know what is! We are very busy at the moment. April was manik with no signs of it being any less so in May. New potential customers have been identified in export markets and we are now exploring those. Hm not bad for a small Hebridean Brewery... Join us again soon for the next instalment of "Islay Ales...t'ales you can believe in"

With our fifth birthday rapidly approaching we are busy arranging a birthday bash over the Easter Weekend, April 11 and 12 here in the Square. There will be a bar, brewery tours, food (with and Islay Ales theme)and other fun things to do so if you are on the Island that Easter Weekend, why not come along and join in the celebrations! We remain busy brewing and bottling ready for Easter and then the Festival and the Summer will soon be upon us. Our Festival Day is Wednesday 27 May so watch out for details.

More merchandise has been added to the ebay shop, Norma and Paul's CDs are now available http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Islay-Ales We are hoping to get our new website organised in the first half of 2009 but in the meantime you can see some of what is on offer on ebay.

Hello from a VERY windy Islay. Everything is back to normal here after Christmas and New Year. Both Pauls brewed this week and we bottled on Thursday. We still have some visitors popping in for beer which is great. We have started an ebay shop for merchandise, find us here. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Islay-Ales More merchandise will go on to the site this week but in the meantime if anyone has any queries about what is available I have all the details at my fingertips..... Remember we only have limited stocks of our ginger and cinammon beer left if anyone would like some and keep an eye on ebay for bottles of the Bruichladdich Ale 2008 which we ran out of in the shop last summer! In the meantime, return again soon for the next instalment of "Islay Ales...t'ales you can believe in" Kat
