Hollywood actor Alan Cumming has tipped his hat at this year's Homecoming Scotland 2014 by taking time out when visiting Perthshire recently to snap a selfie posing with the official beer.
The impromptu images were taken at the luxurious Fonab Castle - which serves a range of Inveralmond's craft beers - when Alan visited Scotland to open The Birks Cinema on St Andrews Day. They have been kept under wraps until the beer was more widely available in shops and bars across the country.
Described by its creator Ken Duncan as "an exuberant ale which displays berry sweetness on the palate and aromatic hoppiness, crafted to encapsulate the energy and presence of our incredible nation in 2014", the beer will be featured at key Homecoming Scotland 2014 events.
Available in craft keg, cask and 330ml bottles, export orders for the Homecoming Scotland beer have already been shipped to Italy and Sweden, while markets in Australia, New Zealand and the US have shown strong initial interest in the product.
The range of Inveralmond Brewery beers can now be found in most multiple retailers and the company exports its products to countries in continental Europe, Americas and Asia Pacific.
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
