- Innis & Gunn brewery owes £1.3 million to suppliers and HMRC while trying to save its Perth site.
- The company entered administration but bought back assets for £425,000 to keep trading.
- 86 jobs are preserved, though the future of the Perth brewery remains uncertain.
Innis & Gunn, a Scottish craft beer maker, has racked up big debts but struck a deal to rescue its operations. Administrators stepped in after the firm couldn't pay its bills, but the owners bought back the business cheaply to save jobs. This matters because it shows the struggles of smaller breweries in tough economic times, and locals in Perth are watching to see if their brewery survives.
