A SCOTTISH brewery has launched a new beer as part of Aldi Scotland’s Scottish Beer Festival.
The long-standing festival aims to celebrate the very best of Scottish beer and this year features five returning favourites alongside the exclusive launch of Innis & Gunn’s brand-new Tequila Cask Blonde beer.
Launching in Edinburgh in 2003, Innis & Gunn is one of the UK’s most successful premium beer brands.

The new beer is matured using specially selected real tequila casks while a number of other products will also feature in the festival, including:
- Loch Lomond Brewery Only Happy When It Rains IPA
- Broughton Ales Bring Out the Imp!
- Loch Lomond Brewery Helles Glen Pilsner
- West Brewery Velo Radler
- Cold Town Citrus DJPA
Managing director of Aldi Scotland Richard Holloway commented: “We’re very pleased to be the first UK supermarket to bring Innis & Gunn’s Tequila Cask Blonde beer to market.
“The craft beer industry continues to thrive in Scotland, while tequila has seen a rapid rise in popularity, so I’m sure this will be a huge hit with customers.
“Our Scottish Beer Festival is always a highlight, and this exclusive launch represents our ongoing commitment to supporting Scottish breweries, while offering customers the opportunity to sample locally produced, top-quality brews at everyday prices.”
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!
