Loch Lomond Brewery launches new beer in celebration of Scotland at the Euros

A top Scottish brewery is celebrating Scotland's appearance at the Euros, as well as poking fun at group rivals England, with a new beer.

Loch Lomond's limited edition cask ale will celebrate our return to the big stage in June as well as our upcoming clash with England.

Dubbed Keepie Uppie, the brewing team say it is a nod to Jim Baxter's showboating antics at Wembley when Scotland beat the then World Champions in style in 1967.

The one-off brew is a 4% pale ale is described as "bursting with tropical fruit and citrus notes" and a celebratory summer beer for everyone to enjoy.

The family-owned and run brewery is also celebrating its tenth birthday with a range of collab beers from top breweries from around the world including the likes of Polly's Brewing Co., Ride Brew Co., Atom Brewing and Yeastie Boys, that will be released throughout 2021.

Head of Sales and Development at the brewery, George Wotherspoon, said: "We decided that after the year from hell that everyone has suffered, and a particularly bad one for pubs and draft beer, we would use the chink of light in Scotlands involvement in a football tournament again and the coming game with England to try and encourage people to get down their local, forget the last year and just enjoy the beautiful game with a beautiful beer.

"We also like the fact that the beer could be a wee conversation piece, whilst some of us are old enough to remember clearly the events of 1967, even if we were too young to actually be there, there will be whole generations of football fans that may have no idea of this game and of the amazing world-class players we had back then."
