It's still a bit chilly outside and the weather forecast for Burns Night is a little breezy, but snowdrops are a hardy breed and always give a little hint of the lighter nights and warmer weather to come (we hope).

Holiday cheer has faded, and reality is setting in. But remember, it's okay to feel down after the excitement of Christmas and New Year! Take self-care. You got this! #JanuaryBlues #MentalHealthMatters #SelfCare

Out beer heads to Lviv, Ukraine as part of a three vehicle humanitarian convoy. The supply of medicines, generators and clothing travelled from UK to Ukraine last week. However, the beer was a great source of delight and appreciation as the teams discovered them whilst unloading the aid from convoy!

Why does Wrong need a silent W.
To me Wright and Wrong would make more sense and that would leave Right to have just one meaning, opposite to left.

We can't improve the weather, but if it does get wet out there, embrace childhood joy and jump in the puddles! #PuddleLove #ChildhoodWonders

Congratulations to Dr Pàdraig MacAoidh (Peter Mackay) on becoming Scotland's first Gaelic Makar. In our experience our Makar ale brings out the poet in everyone. Hopefully Peter will try a pint when he comes to Scotland's National Book Town.

Real ales should be chilled and best taken around 11 to 13 degrees C, but they don't like to get too cold. Be kind to your beer this Christmas.

Yippee Ki-yay, our Makar Scottish Brown Ale at the Pigs Ear East London Beer & Cider Festival in Hackney last week. Not to everyone's taste, but lots of 3 and 4 out of 5s on Untappd too.

Lots of nice people asking who did the design on our beer labels. Well it was Rosie at Fountainstonestudio&shop. Based in Bladnoch, Rosie came up with a design that celebrates where we are: Scotland's National Book Town, the river Bladnoch, the local Stone Circles and of course Beer & hops.

Ode to the First Sip after a tough week at work:
The cares of day, they fade away,
As worries drown in amber’s sway.
A sigh of relief, a contented smile,
A simple pleasure, worth the while.
A pint well-earned, a reward so fair,
A toast to labour, beyond compare.
