Islay's first OktoberFèis is officially done and dusted!

What a fabulous day! Thank you to all who came along and brought the OktoberFest spirit to our little Island Brewery! Especially those who fully entered into the fact dress spirit!

The day wouldn't have been possible without a whole squad! So to our families and to Tilly and the Edinburgh gang, thank you, thank you, thank you for all the help and support getting this off the ground!

Thank you to our friends from across the water, Wild Barn, Gigha Brewery & Taproom, for making the journey to join us, with some great b**rs and all the help building marquees, building stages and everything else!

Our band that kept the crowds dancing and singing! The fabulous CEÒL AN AIRE & North of the Bridge

And keeping everyone fed was thegrubhubislay & ORSAY SEAFOOD
