Bursting with new and exclusive beers set to pack a fruity punch, Lidl’s Scottish Craft Beer Festival hits stores this week with prices starting at just £1.29.
The festival features 19 beers from 11 different Scottish brewers including fan favourites and debuts set to become this summer’s must-try beers.
Dundee-based 71 Brewing leads the line-up with two new beers exclusive to Lidl. In a nod to the emerging mono-hop beer craze, the award-winning brewers single hop IPA Gear Shifter (5% ABV) ups the flavour game with citra taking centre stage.
In time for a whatever-the-weather Scottish summer, the light and fruity IPA Mystic Origins (5% ABV) features citrus and tropical fruit flavours. This new edition heralds Lidl’s first sip into the growing use of Scandinavian yeasts in the craft beer world.

“It is always a thrill to bring these exciting expressions to our Lidl fans through our crisp lagers and small-batch brews, especially at a time where we are all looking to the brighter days ahead.”
With a host of craft lagers and ales part of the line-up, Six Degrees North bring a new and unusual taste sensation with ‘Paradise’ (5.5% ABV), a full-bodied, creamy wheat beer with a hint of citrus.
Another must-try beer is the intensely smooth and fruity Yippie IPA (6% ABV) that kicks a light haze and is crafted by St. Andrews Brewing.
