Under The Counter loves a pint or two, but not as much as this boy.
Iain Mason, a youthful 55-year-old from East Kilbride, has just been named as Scotland’s biggest beer lover after a nationwide search conducted by Aldi.
He’s smiling not only because he’s just won a year’s supply of beer from the discounter, but also because he’s stood pictured – not in a pub – but in what used to be part of his garage.
Living miles from the nearest watering hole, Iain decided – as you do – to spend four months transforming the space where lawnmowers go to die into a cosy 13sq m bar named Stoaters. And all made from recycled materials sourced for next to nothing.
The Auld Boy has but one question for Iain: when can he pop round to Stoaters for a quick – ahem – “interview”?
