Top boogie brew has Scot the lot

Tartan Army fans say Yes, Sir ... to lager

- STEPHEN HOUSTON

Thousands of Tartan Army foot soldiers have Paisley to thank for quenching their thirst during the Euro championsh­ip.

Buddie brewers Jamie Cockburn and Sandy McKelvie have revealed consignmen­ts of the special brew have been sent all over Scotland.

Paisley pubs are stocking cans of Yes, Sir I Can Boogie behind the bar.

Telfords and The Gleniffer have it on draught for the duration of the tournament, which kicks off tonight.

Sandy McKelvie, of the Paisley Craft Beer Co, said: “We’ve been overwhelme­d by the response.

“It’s been fantastic. We’ve had parcels go out to all over Scotland and further afield, but we’ve had a particular­ly great response from the Renfrewshi­re area.

“That’s really nice to see and very much appreciate­d.

“It’s great to give people something to get excited about as not as many people will get to the games as would have under normal conditions.

“I’m particular­ly proud of the fact the beer is available in my home town for the first time.

“Like many, I am a member of the Tartan Army and I cannot wait to roar them on.”

The Express revealed in March how the pair hope to open a Paisley off- licence, a tap tasting room and , a microbrewe­ry.

There are now just a few cans of the Boogie lager left in stock via two-towns-down-brewing. myshopify.com

It was inspired in honour of the song the Scotland squad was filmed partying to after qualificat­ion was secured.

Scotland’s first game is at Hampden on Monday afternoon against the Czech Republic.

A current Paisley Craft Beer project is to get a town inspired pale ale on draught into The Bungalow Bar.

Sandy added: This is all building up to opening the first brewery in Paisley for over 100 years, so it’s a really exciting time.”
