OUR STORY

FROM BREWING TO DISTILLING

Mark Hazell.jpeg

In 2014 Mark was looking for a change in direction and discussed with Alison that he should follow his dream of moving his hobby of home brewing and making it into a commercial reality. They set up a microbrewery in Glasgow in 2014 to supply craft beer to discerning local afficionados, and Jaw Brew was born. The beers were well received, and a strong trade was built up over the next couple of years with Mark and Alison attending various events to showcase Jaw Brew beer and learning a lot about the drinks trade in the process.

Lots of new gins were hitting the market and the same customers who were buying Jaw Brew were also interested in buying gin.  Before long a strategy was developed to create a distinctive high quality gin appealing to their existing customer base and attracting new devotees.
