AN award-winning Scottish brewery has worked with Asda to secure a new deal which will see its product stocked in 40 stores across Scotland.
Three products from the core Bellfield Brewery beer range will now be on the shelves, including its Lawless Village IPA, Bohemian Pilsner and Mega City IPA cans.
The brewery is recognised as the UK’s first gluten-free brewery, with all products certified by Coeliac UK and registered with the Vegan Society and it was previously named Independent Scottish Brewer of the Year in 2023.

It was founded in 2015 by friends Alistair Brown, who has Coeliac disease, and Giselle Dye.
Brown commented: “We are delighted to partner with Asda to launch our product into its Scottish stores.
“Here at Bellfield, we believe that great tasting beer should be available for everyone, so it’s exciting to see our products hit the shelves of such a major retailer.
“Our company mission is simple – to produce exceptionally tasty beers that everyone can enjoy, and it’s great to have Asda on board with us as part of that mission.”
Head brewer Keith Robertson said the new deal was particularly pleasing for such a “small team”.
Head of Asda corporate affairs in Scotland, Polly Jones, said: “At Asda we understand the importance of catering to a range of dietary needs, so we’re pleased to partner with a local business like Bellfield Brewery to answer this call.
“The range really is testament to the quality of local produce coming out of Edinburgh and Scotland as a whole, and we’re thrilled to get behind the team at Bellfield, who are brewing delicious gluten-free, vegan beers on our doorstep.”
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!
