Expert predicts consolidation in Scotland’s craft beer and gin sectors

The head of food and drink at Johnston Carmichael, Scotland’s largest independent firm of chartered accountants and business advisers, is predicting increased consolidation in Scotland’s craft beer and gin sectors.

Adam Hardie said: “With Innis & Gunn accepting a private equity investment and the 2016 acquisition of Edinburgh Gin by Ian Macleod Distillers proving to be a success, I suspect we will see a raft of new deals in Scotland’s drinks sector in general, and craft beer and spirits in particular in 2018.

“Scotland’s food and drink industry has ambitious plans to double in value by 2030, making it very attractive to investors with the appropriate experience and background.”
