An Aberdonian brewery is raising a glass to equality as Lidl unveils Scotland’s first gender-balanced beer aisle - with half of its craft beers now brewed by women or female-owned breweries.

Among them is Aberdeen -based Fierce , where Sales Manager Louise Grant has led the way, with three of her brewery’s creations - Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Stout, Iron Brew Beer Cooler and Fancy Juice IPA - featured in the new line-up.

Rolling out across 112 Scottish stores - including stores throughout Aberdeen - from Thursday, August 28, the initiative reflects an industry in transformation while paying tribute to brewing’s roots.
