Bute Brew Co's Aiden Canavan invited the Branch to tour the brewery prior to the Branch meeting at the Black Bull. We start with the obligatory ferry trip photos.

The weather at Wemyss Bay looked bad but by the time we got to Rothesay it cleared up and no one got too wet.

Aiden explains how the brewery has changed over the period since it's launched. He now does his own bottling, and the ales are bottle conditioned.
