The Houston Brewing Company, which runs the historic Fox and Hounds pub in the village of the same name, has clinched a deal to supply beer to Aldi.
The German discount supermarket chain has placed an order for 7000 bottles of Crystal beer, which Houston's managing director Andrew Anderson hopes will lead to more business. The deal provides the latest example of the way that Scottish microbrewers have grabbed the attention of retailers.
