Happy hour

Stewart Brewing has collaborated with Hawkshead Brewery on a new margarita flavoured beer, Margarita Gose, a strong 6% beer made using New Zealand hops and kaffir lime leaves.

Beatson Clark’s standard amber 330ml Vichy bottle with a crown neck finish was chosen to give the beer a continental look on the shelf and to differentiate the beer from the two breweries’ other products.

Bruce Smith, head brewer at Stewart Brewing, comments, “We already use Beatson Clark bottles for our standard beers, but we quite liked the idea of using something a bit more continental in appearance as it’s a traditional German beer style, and the Vichy fitted the bill for that.

“As it’s a collaboration between two breweries, we also thought having a unique bottle shape meant it wasn’t specific to either brewery. The label design is quite plain and understated, so having a nice looking bottle that’s a bit special allows the beer to stand out on the shelf.”
