Harviestoun Brewery is encouraging those taking part in Dry January to consider Wheesht, its 0.0% ABV dark ruby ale.
Dry January is an annual booze-free challenge that helps millions reset their relationship with alcohol and which is run by the charity Alcohol Change UK.
Named after the old Scottish slang for ‘quiet’, Wheesht is rich with aromas of roasted chocolate, sweet biscuit, and dried fruit, says the brewer
Stuart Cail, master brewer at Harviestoun, said: “Wheesht was a real challenge for the brew team as it’s like nothing they have brewed before.
“We wanted to create a non-alcohol beer that was full of flavour and aroma. It has taken us a while to perfect, but it is worth the wait. Now we’re encouraging people to take the Dry January challenge with the country’s first alcohol-free dark ale.
“Roasted malt and oats create a really nice background that give body and hints of sweet dried fruit. This is complimented by the fruity, spicy aromas from the hops.”
