This story has “win” written all over it as the owner of the Isle of Arran Brewery is working to convert the former Rosebank Distillery in Falkirk Scotland into a brewery (with bottling line) and micro-distillery. This from The Scotsman:
THE entrepreneur behind the Arran Brewery plans to breathe new life into the historic Rosebank distillery in Falkirk under a multi-million pound scheme to turn the site into a brewery, bottling plant and “micro-distillery”.
Gerald Michaluk, who bought the Grade-B listed building from Scottish Canals, also proposes to open the “Scottish National Brewing & Distilling Centre” as a tourist attraction on the site.
Nearly 70 jobs are expected to be created by the project, which is subject to planning approval.
Michaluk remained tight-lipped over how much he had paid for the canal-side site, but said he remained in talks with four groups of investors over funding for his expansion plans.
He has already raised just shy of £1 million, including his own money, and has said that he wants to raise about £10m, including through crowd-funding from online investors and fans of the firm’s beers.
