A CITY brewery is set to feature in a nationwide beer festival.
Aldi's 16th Scottish Beer Festival will showcase 35 craft beers from seven unique breweries across the country.
WEST Brewery will join the likes of Edinburgh's Stewart Brewing and The Isle of Skye Brewing Company whose beers hit shelves on October 11.
Aldi has created an expert guide to help customers pair their favourite brew with some of the supermarket’s finest locally sourced produce.

Available in-store, the tasting booklet pairs everything from lagers, light ales and wheat beers, which should be enjoyed with mild curries, seafood and fruity desserts, to porters and stouts, which go best with beef, strong cheeses, and chocolate desserts.
Graham Nicolson, group buying director, Aldi Scotland said: “We wanted to mix things up a bit for the 16th Scottish Beer Festival, which is why we’ve selected seven trailblazing breweries from across the length and breadth of Scotland to showcase five of their best craft beers.
“The craft beer industry in Scotland has gone from strength to strength over the past decade, and there are now over 120 breweries in Scotland.
