Arran Brewery Launches Blonde craft beer in Keg

The Arran Brewery has now launched its award winning craft beer, Arran Blonde, in keg.  Previously,  the beer had only been available in cask or bottle.

The brewery is hoping this new format will be a winner and repeat its success in the bottle beer market where Arran Blonde won the title of Europe’s best all-grain wheat beer in 2010 and became Scotland’s best selling bottled ale produced by a microbrewery and the tenth best selling ale overall in 2012.

The brewery is finalising plans to offer shares to the public in late October. This crowd-funding move will see the company try to raise £4m which will be used to upgrade the brewery on Arran, build a bottling hall on the mainland and open bars.

Managing director, Gerald Michaluk, said:

“We have very ambitions plans and the introduction of kegged Arran Blonde will expand our market when coupled with our distribution deal with the Hofbrau in Munich. Arran Blonde ale and Hofbrau lagers will be a winning combination in the new craft beer bars springing up around Scotland. We are offering both now in keg as well as bottle. But, staying true to our roots, we will continue to offer Arran Blonde as a real ale in cask as well.”
