This includes the Belgian Witbier with highland brewers Cromarty Brewing Co, a Session Pale Ale in collaboration with William Bros from Alloa, an American IPA made alongside Midlothian’s Stewart Brewing a Guava Sour from Brew York, a Double IPA with Northern Monk and German Chocolate Cake Stout with Neon Raptor Brewing Co.
Sales Manager of Fierce Beer Craig Cargill commented on the Fierce & Friends beer range saying, "It’s been incredible to build on the success of the past few Beer Festivals and bring together a brand new range of beers that have been curated, designed and brewed alongside some of our best friends in the industry. This entire project has been testament to the support Aldi and their customers have given us over the years, so we’re really excited to share these beers with everyone."
