LOGGING ON FOR A LOCKDOWN BREW

A beer inspired by video calls on Zoom during lockdown has been created by Loch Lomond Brewery. ‘Zoom Time’ is described as a New England-style India pale ale (IPA). Fiona MacEachern, Loch Lomond Brewery’s managing director, said: ‘Zoom Time is very much a nod to the ‘new normal’ of socialising virtually; catching up with friends for a beer being no exception.’ Her beer is one of 21 that featured in supermarket chain Lidl’s latest ‘Isle of Ale Festival’, alongside Dundee’s 71 Brewing, Glasgow’s Drygate Brewing, Edinburgh’s Barney’s Beer, and Alva’s Harviestoun Brewery. lochlomondbrewery.com
