Bellfield Brewery has secured new listings for three lines from its 330ml canned range into 40 of Asda’s stores across Scotland.

Three products from the core Bellfield Brewery beer range will now be on shelves. Lawless Village IPA, a copper-coloured, aromatic beer brewed with Centennial American hops for a modern citrusy finish; Bohemian Pilsner, a classic pale Czech pilsner with a light body and gentle floral notes; and Mega City IPA, an American IPA balancing robust bitterness with a rich, fruity hop character.

Independent Scottish Brewery of the Year 2023, Bellfield Brewery is recognised as the UK’s first gluten-free brewery; all of its beers are certified by Coeliac UK and registered with the Vegan Society. The brewery was founded in 2015 by two friends, Alistair Brown – who has Coeliac disease – and Giselle Dye.

Alistair Brown, Bellfield Brewery founder & CEO, commented: “We are delighted to partner with Asda to launch our product into its Scottish stores. Here at Bellfield, we believe that great tasting beer should be available for everyone, so it’s exciting to see our products hit the shelves of such a major retailer. Our company mission is simple – to produce exceptionally tasty beers that everyone can enjoy, and it’s great to have Asda on board with us as part of that mission.”

Polly Jones, head of Asda corporate affairs in Scotland, added: “At Asda we understand the importance of catering to a range of dietary needs, so we’re pleased to partner with a local business like Bellfield Brewery to answer this call.

“The range really is a testament to the quality of local produce coming out of Edinburgh and Scotland as a whole, and we’re thrilled to get behind the team at Bellfield, who are brewing delicious gluten-free, vegan beers on our doorstep!”
