ST Andrews Brewing Company has won a deal worth an estimated £600,000 to supply supermarket group Sainsbury’s Scottish stores.

The brewery will supply Sainsbury with its new core range of craft beer and lager, including its “signature” Yippie IPA (India pale ale).

St Andrews Brewing Company managing director Philip Mackey said: “It’s great to work collaboratively with Sainsbury, one of our oldest accounts, in order to get our beer to more consumers. We have also seen the increase in demand for environmentally friendly packaging and it’s great to be able to sell our cans and mini kegs, and their cardboard containers, as 100% recyclable: no plastic rings or shrink-wrap.”
