New St Andrews beers launched

St Andrews Links and renowned local craft brewery, St Andrews Brewing Company, have teamed up to create two new bespoke beers celebrating the home of golf.

Drawing inspiration from the world’s most famous Links and one of its most iconic characters, the talented team at St Andrews Brewing Company have created a bespoke lager and scotch ale that will be served in the Auld Grey Toun.

Road Hole Lager and Tom Morris Scotch Ale, which are available in draught and cans, will be exclusively available to customers at St Andrews Links’ three clubhouses, Old Pavilion, Halfway House and within St Andrews Brewing Company bars in the town.

St Andrews Links commercial director Danny Campbell said: “We are always working to improve the experience at the Home of Golf, so to work with the local and hugely renowned St Andrews Brewing Company is very exciting.

“To have the opportunity to work with the array of amazing assets and stories at St Andrews Links disposal, combined with our knowledge and passion for producing award winning beers has been hugely exciting.

“Road Hole Lager is a fresh, crisp, light Helles style lager that we think is the perfect pint for quenching your thirst after a game of golf whilst the Tom Morris project was really about bringing back a popular style with a classic Scotch Ale recipe, which has a sweet malt flavour and hints of caramel too.

“We really hope golfers and visitors to St Andrews will enjoy Road Hole Lager and Tom Morris Ale as much as we do.”
