Loch Lomond, the award-winning Scottish brewery, has unveiled its support for the Tartan Army and the Scotland national football team heading to this summer’s FIFA World Cup – in the shape of a limited-edition IPA called ‘We have a Dream’ – in tribute to the much-loved  official Scotland song of the 1982 World Cup campaign.

The limited-edition 5% US hopped IPA with big juicy tropical fruit notes will be available in 440ml cans and in keg and stocked in a range of bars, tap rooms and bottle shops across Scotland. 

Written and produced by BA Robertson and sung by Scottish actor John Gordon Sinclair joined by the 1982 Scotland squad, ‘We have a Dream’ reached number 5 in the UK Singles Chart and was voted by listeners of BBC Radio Scotland and the Tartan Army as the No. 1 Scottish football track of all time.

Proceeds from every can will go to the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal, the longest established charity funded by Scotland fans donating since 2003 to identified children’s charities in every country the Scottish National Football Team plays in.  Loch Lomond Brewery will be joined by a number of breweries who are also supporting the Tartan Army charity fundraiser.

There will be a tap takeover for all eight of the Sunshine Appeal brewery collaborators at Shilling Brewery Co on West George Street, Glasgow and The Hanging Bat on Lothian Road in Edinburgh with more to follow.

Other bars featuring the beers include The Clutha and The Bell Jar in Glasgow and The Piper’s Rest in Edinburgh. Bottle shops stockists include the Wee Beer Shop and Maxwell’s Clarkston in Glasgow, Oban Beers Sellers and Caledonian Craft Beer in Dunfermline.  We Have a Dream is also available directly from the Loch Lomond Brewery shop and taproom.

“We have a dream” is undoubtedly the best Scotland football song ever – typically self-deprecating and full of Scottish wit, heart, pride and realism – it was a work of art. We wanted to celebrate it and another Tartan Army campaign with a really refreshing and spirited IPA that will be a great accompaniment to the greatest fans in the world. C’mon the Tartan Army, Come on Scotland – let’s make the dream come true!” said George Wotherspoon, head of sales and development at Loch Lomond Brewery.
