Although Broughton Ales and Belhaven have worked with Asda previously, it will be the first time Williams Bros beers are sold in the supermarket.

The current agreement, worth more than £300,000 in total, comprises 16 beer lines that will be sold across more than 50 Asda stores in Scotland.

Beers include Williams Bros’  4.3% Birds and Bees Ale, its 4.1% Caesar Augustus, the 8.3% Joker IPA and its Pavlovs Dog Ale.

Broughton Ales’ offering includes its 5.2% Black Douglas and Proper IPA, while Belhaven will supply, among others, its Scottish Ale, Craft Pilsner, Speyside Oak Aged Blonde and Twisted Thistle IPA.

Brian O’Shea, Asda’s regional buying manager for Scotland, explained: “Broughton, Belhaven and Williams Brothers beer products are premium quality and will give customers a new and local choice, particularly with the beer trend continuing to boom and new flavours on offer.

“Feedback from everyone who has tried the new lines has been incredibly positive so we look forward to working with the businesses closely and hopefully increasing the range of products available in–stores in due course.”
