Aldi’s popular in-store Scottish Beer Festival is back, featuring a line-up of 31 craft beers from 15 local breweries across Scotland.
Available in stores from today (Thursday 1st October), the 22nd Beer Festival will take place in all 92 Scottish stores in a deal worth over £90,000 to the breweries involved. Aldi shoppers will have the chance to try a range of award-winning craft beers created by some of the country’s best-loved breweries from as little as £1.49.
From sour ales to stouts, this season’s line-up includes craft brews produced by Edinburgh’s Barney’s Beer, Aberdeenshire’s Brewdog, Isle of Skye Brewery and a brand-new festival addition, Cross Borders Brewing based in Midlothian.
Craig Hannigan, Sales Representative, Cross Borders Brewing, commented: “We are thrilled to make our debut in Aldi’s famous in-store Scottish Beer Festival. It’s a brilliant opportunity for us to reach Aldi shoppers around the country. The past few months have been challenging for small businesses across Scotland, however Aldi’s support is a significant boost for all of us featured in the line-up.
