SCOTTISH craft brewer Innis & Gunn has launched a limited edition beer to celebrate 15 years since its inception.
The exclusive drink also marks the end of a successful year for the firm, who saw turnover grow by 22% and gross profit rise by 19.1% to £10.1 million.
Dougal Gunn Sharp, Innis & Gunn Founder and master brewer said: “Achieving our 14th year of consecutive double digit volume growth is down to the hard graft of the team, our commitment to innovation and the quality of our beers.
“In the UK Innis & Gunn Lager has continued its stellar growth, having doubled in size in the last two years. Our ambition is for it to become the UK’s number one craft lager, an achievement we have already reached in Scotland.”
The special 7.4% abv beer, named “15”, is a barrel-aged double IPA that has been matured in 15-year-old whisky barrels from the Highlands of Scotland. It is available to buy from October 3 from here.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
