Beer company launches investment scheme to build new brewery

Innis & Gunn will use the cash to establish a new state-of-the-art brewery at an unspecified location in south-east Scotland. They are in “advanced negotiations” to buy the land and hope the new brewery will create 35 jobs over the next four years.

Investors are being asked to contribute £500 in the form of a four-year bond. They can earn interest in cash of ‘BeerBucks’ which can be spend on the company’s website.

Founder Dougal Gunn Sharp said: “At Innis & Gunn, we’ve always been fanatical about ingredients and brewing, and creating awesome, incredible-tasting beers which push the boundaries even further.

“We believe that flavour is the most important thing, it’s what gets us all out of bed in the morning.

“We want drinkers to love our beer, to find tastes, flavour and textures that they’ve never experienced before.

“Our state-of-the-art brewery is where we will get even more creative and make epic new beers for craft beer drinkers to enjoy.

“The BeerBond is all about inviting our fans and the craft beer community to invest to help us build this brewery - and we hope they’ll join us on this exciting new venture for Innis & Gunn.”
