Black Isle are my favourite, some fantastic beers plus their bars in Inverness and Fort William are great. Quote
InversneckieDob Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 Oh, there's a Black Isle one I loved, Red Kite. I think they changed the name of it...... Quote
InversneckieDob Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 They still have Red Kite on their website. When I was in the Black Isle Bar at Christmas they didn't have the Red Kite on draught, but they had something similar with a different name. Quote

That’ll be the Red Nitro, another great beer which is a smoother version of Red Kite but not quite as good. Craftsman in Aberdeen have black isle beer on draught. Quote

What was it formerly called (in the days when it opened at 6 and had 'dancers' Friday tea-time)? Quote

The good old early 90s!! Quote

Company was born here or here about and the yanks step in and immediately close them all down. Never been in myself but I did like the MADE IN ABERDEEN neon sign in the Union Street window and the burgers were meant to be affa fine. Quote
Mentorred Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 Wondering how it will affect their USA branches. Was kinda cool having this sign in Cleveland 1 Quote
TheDonbytheDee Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 Just what the city needs, more job losses. It's going to be a ghost town soon. I do hope the prick James Watt isn't still on social media telling folk how he would fix Britain and save the taxpayer billions. 2 Quote
Bukta Bertie Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 (edited) Now it's been sold off will the people who bought 'shares' when Brewdog started out be able to get weighed in or were they more like donations dressed up as shares and they'll never see a return? Edited March 2 by Bukta Bertie Quote

Shame for the staff and all that but entirely self inflicted by the previous directors. Beer for people who don’t like beer. 2 Quote
