WELL… that was certainly an interesting year. Here is a quick look back at the year,
END OF 2019:
The Jaw Brew Pub was born! Founder Mark Hazell was feeling optimistic about the local pub and brewery. Locals from all over Glasgow visited the pub and were able to learn more about the Hazell family and enjoy the Jaw Brew range. The excitement of a local craft brewery soon spread in the area and the pub was packed day and night.
BEGINNING OF 2020:
Jaw Brew launched a new website and began engaging with their local customers online. With the ongoing success of the Jaw Brew brand, the Hazell’s began to think about the future of Jaw Brew and more ways to become a fully circular brewery.
MARCH 2020:
Covid-19 reaches the UK and businesses go into lockdown. Jaw Brew goes into lockdown and offers front line workers free beer.
SUMMER 2020:
Jaw Brew set up socially distanced seating and continue to serve their customers with a close eye on new legislation. Wearing a mask becomes the new norm. The team slowly become attached to their masks!
The entire Hazell family begin to renovate and build their brewery in Milngavie. The team begins brainstorming how they are going to run brewery tours in 2021 for their customers.
SEP NOV 2020:
Sales are pushed online and the Hazell’s launch a new Bardowie Gin range. Both Jaw Brew and Bardowie Gin re-vamp their websites and push online sales. Sales are slow and steady but many locals and loyal customers from overseas return to stock up for Christmas.
Jaw Brew turns their brewery into a cafe and offers customers delicious coffee and cake.
DEC 2020:
Jaw Brew sales rise quickly and the team launch zoom events for community groups and businesses. Mark and Alison were able to flaunt their brewing knowledge and enjoy a fun event with their friends, family and customers. The zoom events are a huge hit. People were able to enjoy Jaw Brew beer and Bardowie Gin from the comfort of their own homes and learn how to best serve them! The events gave people something to put in their diaries to keep the morale up over the winter months. They intend to continue hosting these events for businesses around Glasgow.
2021:
Businesses are once again in lockdown. Jaw Brew has survived 2020 and are feeling optimistic about the future of the brewery.
Jaw Brew is the only craft brewery in East Dunbartonshire and the Hazell’s intend to become the go-to spot for locals to buy beer, attend brewery tours, events and try out the Bardowie Gin range.
Without the support of friends, family, and customers the Jaw Brew team would not have made it through. We want to thank every single one of you who have bought our beer and gin. Our vision for the near future is to become a fully circular brewery. We welcome anyone to help us with this objective and look forward to seeing all your friendly faces soon!
Please continue enjoying our beer and gin ! ;)
Cheers!
The Hazell Family.
