SCOTTISH craft brewer Brewdog has launched its Barnard Castle Eye Test Hazy IPA for pre-order following overwhelming support on social media.
The "short sighted beer for tall stories" came about after the company's founder, James Watt, called for the public to name the new beer on Twitter.
Inspired by recent events we’re thinking of making a new @BrewDog beer.

At the time of writing, the tweet has more than 16,000 likes and 4000 retweets.
The beer was inspired by Dominic Cummings' claim he travelled to Barnard Castle during lockdown to test his eyesight.

The demand has been so high that the BrewDog Online shop servers briefly clashed due to the number of orders.
All profits made from the beer will go to funding its production of free sanitiser for the NHS and charities.
The 12 x 330ml pack of the Barnard Castle Eye Test Hazy IPA is available now for pre-order priced at £16.95 via the BrewDog Online Shop. The product will be available within two weeks.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
