Grant Award for Brewery

Dundee City Council is helping to draw up new opportunities for a local brewery with a grant award.
The local authority allocated Holy Goat Brewing a £10,500 Business Growth and Innovation Grant to assist the firm.
Councillor Siobhan Tolland visited Holy Goat's base in the city to see how the funds are making a difference.
The firm is using the award to:
Kit out new warehouse space
Increase production to fulfil export and local sales drive
Increase production of barrel aged beers
Diversify the product range
Councillor Tolland, who is the depute convener of the Fair Work, Economic Growth and Infrastructure Committee said: “I was delighted to see the premises of Holy Goat Brewing and hear the inside story of this local company.
“I hope the assistance that has been provided will assist in their endeavours in UK and international markets.
“It is encouraging for the future of the city to see how our businesses are working hard to grow in innovative ways.”
James Scanlan, of Holy Goat, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to Dundee City Council for their support, which has allowed us to invest in new fermenters and expand our production capacity. With the increased capacity, we’re able to bring more variety to our range and meet growing demand for our beers both in the UK and in export markets. The support played a big part in giving us the confidence and initial resources to move forward with expansion plans. It’s encouraging to know there are opportunities like this available for other small businesses looking to showcase local talent and create jobs."
The city council’s Economic Growth Team has worked closely with Business Gateway Tayside to manage the Business Growth and Innovation Grant. This phase was funded with legacy monies from Scottish Govt funded Local Authority Economic Development Recovery Fund (LACER),
