In this episode of Ayrshire Insights with Elliot Boyce, Elliot is joined by Gerald Michaluk of the Isle of Arran Brewery.

Gerald shares the story behind one of Scotland's best-known island breweries, talking about the journey of building a business on Arran, the challenges and opportunities that come with running a business in an island community, and the passion that goes into creating beers that have found an audience well beyond the island.

The conversation also looks at Gerald's own journey in business, the importance of adapting and moving with the times, and what it means to see the next generation becoming increasingly involved in the brewery. With Arran beers continuing to pick up recognition, there's plenty to talk about when it comes to the past, present and future of the business.

Recorded from the weekly business show on Now Ayrshire Radio, this is a conversation about entrepreneurship, island life, brewing, family and building a business with a real sense of place — with That Local Feeling.
