I read with great sadness today of the death of co-founder/co-owner of Fyne Ales, Jonny Delap. Apparently, Jonny had been in poor health in recent years but his death still came as a shock to those in the Scottish brewing industry as well as myself. I only just recently corresponded with Jonny via email. I deeply regret that I was not able to make it to the brewery in person before Jonny's passing. I would have loved to have met this great man.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife, Tuggy, the other co-founder/co-owner of Fyne, his surviving family and to his work colleagues and friends. He will surely be missed. Let us all lift a pint to his memory, a Fyne Ale pint if you are fortunate enough to be able to get one.
Yours Aye!
