An up-and-coming Borders brewery is enjoying the taste of success after landing a six month listing with Aldi.
Tempest Brewery's Long White Cloud will be stocked exclusively in Aldi's 61 Scottish stores from July after the brew became the fastest seller at the supermarket's Scottish Beer Festival, selling 1,700 bottles in two weeks.
The deal is worth at least £50,000
Annika Meiklejohn at Tempest Brewery, said: "We were really happy with the demand for Long White Cloud during Aldi's most recent Scottish beer festival. As this was the first time we have taken part, we were delighted with the positive reaction from customers. Aldi are a joy to work with and we are really excited to see our product on their shelves from July."
Richard Holloway, Managing Director at Aldi in Scotland said: "This listing demonstrates our commitment to the craft beer industry in Scotland and we hope that we can continue to build strong relationships with more breweries across the country in years to come."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
