Circular economy

Sustainable & environmentally friendly

We strive to run our brewery in the most sustainable way possible, focusing hugely on the circular economy that is an alternative to the traditional linear economy of take, make and dispose.

Our Hardtack Beer

In 2016 we partnered with Aulds the Bakers to pioneer a beer made from their morning bread rolls. After much trial and tribulation, varying malt ratios, hop strains, and timings Hardtack was born and we loved it! Hardtack won a bronze medal in the Scotland Region SIBA awards ahead of many larger, longer-established brands.

Plastic Replacement

We are working hard to reduce our packaging footprint to zero. For example, instead of using plastic can connectors that far too often end up in the ocean damaging sea life, we are collaborating on an alternative made out of biodegradable plastic derived from prawn shells.
