CRAFT Beer Clan, the company set up by wholesaler JW Filshill to promote Scottish beers abroad, has expanded its roster to 19 breweries.
The enterprise, now targeting Scandinavia, Dubai, Japan, Canada and the US after initially focusing on Asia Pacific, has added brewers such as West and Drygate in Glasgow, Caledonian in Edinburgh, Fyne Ales in Argyll and Loch Lomond Brewery to the clan. The latest additions join original members Williams Bros of Alloa, Eden Brewery of St Andrews, Perth's Inveralmond Brewery and the Deeside Brewery of Banchory.
Craft Beer Clan, which aims to have an annual turnover of £2.5 million within five years, is now also looking to boost members' sales in the domestic convenience store market.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
