00:00 So, first game is Germany-Scotland. That could be the party of parties here.
00:04 I think the wonderful thing about our beer is the diversity of the range, you know.
00:09 We've got something for everyone. I don't think I've ever met someone who doesn't enjoy a Pennis Amungo.
00:15 We've got some really classic German-style beer like Heidi Weiss or Hefeweizen.
00:20 We've got a Dark Lager, Dunkel.
00:23 And then we've got some really nice kind of modern interpretations
00:26 that you probably wouldn't find in, you know, German brewery.
00:30 We've got Pale Ale and we've also got a Pilsner, which yes, is a German-style,
00:36 but our version of it is very much a modern interpretation of that.
00:40 So, you know, I'd welcome anyone who's not been out to come and try it.
00:44 We launched two Radlers last year, which are going great guns,
00:48 and we actually use them in our cocktails as well.
00:50 So, if anyone's never had a beer cocktail, you know, I'll vouch for them
00:55 because they're doing so, so well.
00:57 But yeah, I think, you know, we're looking forward to the Euros.
01:03 I think it's going to be great for Scotland and Glasgow as a whole.
01:08 You know, and hopefully there'll be plenty of pints of West Drank here, innit?
01:12 So, first game is Germany-Scotland. That could be the party of parties here.
01:16 We're working on the finer details, but I think venue-wide, that day's just going to be crazy.
01:23 We'll probably put some screens. We're obviously not a TV venue,
01:27 but we're looking to put some screens into the beer hall as well.
01:30 So, we'll have pretty much full venue-wide for that opening match.
01:37 As well as that, we turned 18 in March, so we've got some plans of doing a festival
01:41 at the end of the summer, which will be great.
01:44 And we've also launched a limited range of beers this year.
01:49 So, we've got one out just now, our Kulsch still beer, which is synonymous with the city of Cologne.
01:56 Summer, we'll see us bring in a Berliner Weiss, and then we've got a Vienna Lager early autumn.
02:02 So, lots happening here. Just a really exciting year ahead.
02:07 Any particular favourites for you if you're launching football this summer?
02:11 I would say, well, Mats, I think we do have a beer for every occasion and for every taste.
02:15 I think we've got such a broad portfolio. My taste in beer goes with the weather,
02:20 goes with the mood. If it's nice and hot in the middle of the afternoon, I would be having a Radler.
02:24 In the deep darkness of winter, I quite like a pint of Black. It just goes with the flow.
