Black Isle brewer secures first UK-wide distribution deal with Majestic Wine

HIGHLANDS-BASED Black Isle Brewing Co has landed a significant distribution boost after striking its first UK-wide retail deal.

03/02/2017

The organic craft brewer’s flagship product, Black Isle Organic Blonde, will appear on the shelves of Majestic Wine’s 200-plus outlets across the UK. The beer, which Majestic will sell in 330ml format, is also available to buy from the retailer’s online store.

Black Isle’s beers are already sold in on and off trade outlets around the UK, with exports shipped to 15 countries including Hong Kong, Japan, Sweden, Russia and the US.

David Gladwin, who founded Black Isle in 1998, said: “It’s great for an organic beer to get a UK-wide listing with a retailer like Majestic.

“They recognise the growing demand for high-quality organic beer that offers genuine provenance and sustainability. We believe everywhere that sells beer should have at least one organic choice, and of course, we want that to be Black Isle.

“Our message is drink great beer and help the environment at the same time.”

Majestic buyer Beth Pearce added: “Black Isle is a fantastic independent craft brewer with very firm beliefs and principles. They care passionately about what they do.

“That’s something we admire greatly, not to mention the fact that their organic Blonde is an outstanding beer.
