The deal, which is for an undisclosed sum, adds to the portfolio run by Kenny Webster which includes Isle of Skye Brewing Co Ltd and Black Wolf Brewery Limited together with several artisan beer brands and links with key trade, wholesale and export markets.

Isle of Skye brewing has been trading since 1995 and supplies leading supermarkets/pub groups along with export.

The business also recently launched ‘Skye Gin’, with all products now on sale from an onsite shop, via a growing online business and to an expanding retail and trade customer base mainly across the UK.

Founded in 2015, Wooha Brewing was pioneering a range of highly distinctive craft beers with eye-catching brand names such as ‘Hop Stampede’ and ‘Jenny from the Bock’. The business had invested in a 16,000 sq ft facility in Kinloss, Morayshire, and was developing its sales both in the UK and overseas.

Director Kenny Webster, said: “We are delighted to have secured a deal with FRP and look forward to incorporating the brands and assets of Wooha Brewing Company into our new company, North Coast Brewing Co Ltd.

“We have ambitious plans to grow and the acquisition provides us with access to high quality production facilities, a range of quality brands and an established network of trade and consumer customers. We hope to restart brewing at our new site very soon and, as the business develops, we hope to create a number of new jobs. We will keep WooHa’s customers updated via social media”

Iain Fraser, partner with FRP and joint administrator, added: “We are very pleased to have secured a sale to North Coast Brewing Co Ltd. The businesses associated with the director have a strong record of consistent innovation and Isle of Skye Brewing is one of the most recognisable craft beer businesses in the UK. We wish the management team and staff every success as they integrate the former Wooha Brewing Company into their business model and with their forward plans for further expansion.”
