Wheesht is also available for purchase at select Sainsbury’s stores in Scotland including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee, Stirling, Livingston, Irvine, Prestwick, Hawick, Strathaven, Linlithgow, Kelso, East Kilbride, Hamilton, Kirkaldy and Aberdeenshire.

Stuart Cail, who has been a master brewer at Harviestoun Brewery for over 20 years, said: “The wheesht was a real challenge for the brewing team because it is unlike anything they’ve brewed before.

“We wanted to create an alcohol-free beer full of flavor and aroma. It took us a while to perfect ourselves, but it’s worth the wait. Now we’re encouraging people to take on the “Dry January” challenge with the country’s first alcohol-free dark beer.

“The toasted malt and oats create a really pleasant base which gives body and notes of sweet dried fruit. This is complemented by the fruity and spicy aromas of the hops.
