Small breweries have been dealt a blow after the Scottish Government refused to guarantee their drinks could be served under rule changes on guest beers.
The Scottish Pubs Code enables “tied” pubs to set aside one tap for a beer outwith those permitted by the owner.
It was hoped the legislation would mean small breweries - including those in Dundee - had the opportunity to showcase their drinks in bars and pubs they wouldn’t otherwise have been able to work with.
