Is it passed the acceptable period of time to say happy new year? All the dust has settled from the madness of Christmas time and we have come to the quiet and quite often tough period of time in the pub trade that is January.
Many people start off their year with a health kick that includes dry January, good for body and mind, terrible for professional beer makers! Duelled with the rising cost in living this had led us to review our opening hours and like many other businesses in Milngavie we will closing our doors during the early days of the week and we have followed suit and are currently open from Wednesday 5pm - through to Sunday.
Not all is doom and gloom however, as we look back on the positive changes we have made in the pub over the past couple of months. With the advice of a local interior designer carol_yates we opted to give the place a nice lick of paint, brought in new furniture and even a scattering of fancy cushions. We enjoyed a busy festive period seeing lots of new faces in the pub as well as our wonderful regulars. We were overwhelmed with the number of people that chose to use our beer and gin as gifts for their loved ones and we cannot thank you enough.
Looking forward to the year ahead, we are excited to have our circular economy beer ROLLER back on tap, while also adding a full time guest tap so that we can showcase some of the other talented independent breweries across Scotland.
For the hardy bunch that are still ploughing ahead with their dry January journey we have a good selection of teas/coffees/ alcohol free beers and spirits so that you don’t have to miss out on all the exciting events we have in store this month. Our quiz night has been moved to a Thursday evening at 7.30 and continuing on from a successful run last year, the Ok Amigos will be playing the last Sunday of every month also at 7.30pm
In the upcoming months we plan on running a more regular blog/newsletter to give you some inside information about brewing, events we have on and exciting things we have in the works. Hopefully we will see you soon in the pub for a pint (or an appropriate non alcoholic alternative)
