    Red MacGregor - Champion Bitter of Britain 2018

    Red MacGregor was crowned Champion Beer of Britain in the Bitter Category at the Camra - Great British Beer Festival last week.

    Managing Director Norman Sinclair was on hand at the awards ceremony and said "This is another fantastic achievement for our Brewers and goes to show that focus and meticulous attention to the process and the ingredients can be recognised as well as innovative brewing.

    Red Macgregor has a wide appeal for all, having the toasty and caramel malt character more akin to brown ale but having the citrusy and fruit notes of American pale ale.  It was the first beer in Scotland that expressively used US Cascade hops and was a break through beer when it first surfaced.
