That the Parliament congratulates Loch Lomond Brewery, which is based in Dumbarton, on what it sees as its outstanding success at the 2026 SIBA Scotland Indie Beer Awards; understands that the brewery won 25 medals, including 12 gold medals, representing its largest awards haul to date; notes that its West Coast IPA, Bravehop, which is brewed with Columbus, Chinook and Amarillo hops and is famed for its marmalade and pine aromas leading to caramel and apricot flavours followed by a bittersweet finish, was named Overall Cask Champion, while American-style pale ale, Southern Summit, picked up gold in its cask and keg categories, and its alcohol-free version also secured a gold medal; recognises the contribution that Loch Lomond Brewery has made to Scotland’s thriving food and drink sector through its commitment to quality, innovation and craftsmanship; acknowledges the dedication of owners Fiona and Euan MacEachern, and the entire brewery team in building what is widely regarded as one of Scotland’s most successful independent breweries, and wishes Loch Lomond Brewery every success as it goes on to represent Scotland at the UK Indie Beer Awards' national finals.
