Dalkeith’s Cross Borders Brewing features in Aldi’s October Beer Festival

Aldi’s popular in-store Scottish Beer Festival is back today, featuring a line-up of 31 craft beers from 15 local breweries across Scotland.  

This year’s line-up includes three brand-new additions from Dalkeith-based brewers Cross Borders Brewing. Founded in 2016, Cross Borders Brewing has grown from strength to strength, winning numerous brewing accolades as well as opening their own pub, Portobello Tap near Portobello beach.  

From sour ales to stouts, this season’s line-up includes something for every beer drinker, and bottles start from just £1.49. 

Aldi shoppers can try Cross Borders Brewing’s award-winning Wee Braw Session IPA, flavoured with mosaic hops from the US, their pineapple and apricot infused Braw Pale Ale, or their classic India Pale Ale for those who enjoy a rich citrus flavour.  

Cross Borders Brewing will feature alongside 14 other Scottish breweries, including firm beer festival favourites such as, Brewdog, Barney’s Beer and Isle of Skye Brewery.  

Craig Hannigan, Sales Representative, Cross Borders Brewing, commented: “We are thrilled to make our debut in Aldi’s famous in-store Scottish Beer Festival.

“It’s a brilliant opportunity for us to reach Aldi shoppers from all over the country. The past few months have been challenging for small businesses, however, Aldi’s support is a significant boost for all of us that are featured in the line-up, and we hope Aldi shoppers across Scotland enjoy the diverse range of brews on offer.” 

Graham Nicolson, Group Buying Director, Aldi Scotland, said: “We want our customers to have access to the very best Scottish brewing has to offer, that’s why our line-up for the 22nd in-store Scottish Beer Festival includes 15 exceptional craft breweries from all four corners of the country.

“We are thrilled to welcome back some of the Scottish Beer Festival’s firm favourites, as well as new brewers, Cross Borders Brewing, to the line-up.  

“Over the years, we have enjoyed exploring the diverse range of Scottish brewing and we have built strong relationships with local breweries around the country as part of our pledge to expand our range of Scottish products to 500 over the next 2 years.

“Our Beer Festival ensures we can offer Aldi customers the best range of craft beers, whilst supporting local breweries during these challenging times.”
