This Brewery was started by Andrew Murdo Ribben's in 2002. He had been a regular visitor to the island for many years staying with his grandfather at his croft, Aird Tong. Andrew finally took the plunge after taking redundancy from his job with a pharmaceutical company. He worked at the Flagship Brewery in Kent to gain experience and then invested in a 10 Barrel brewing plant.
