An Edinburgh venue is serving up a unique specialty to mark 140 years of Tennent’s.
Auld Hag in Stockbridge is serving up a the world’s first Square Wurst, a homage to Tennent’s Bavarian roots and Scottish heritage. The new delicacy brings two iconic food cultures together, with a roll and wurst.
Gregg Boyd, who founded Auld Hag, promised customers they will ‘love it’.
Joanne Motion, senior brand manager at Tennent’s Lager said: “There is nothing more Scottish than a roll and square sausage, and in Germany, the same can be said for a wurst. Creating the world’s first Square Wurst is a fun homage to our Bavarian roots and a delicious way to try our new limited edition.
“It’s been 140 years since Tennent’s changed the brewing landscape in Scotland, and there is no better way to celebrate than by releasing a limited edition lager in the style that inspired it all.”
Gregg Boyd, founder at Auld Hag: “The Square Wurst is brilliant – bringing two iconic food cultures together to give the people of Scotland a true Scotland ‘meats’ Germany experience is what it’s all about. Our recipe uses the best Scottish ingredients, inspired by much-loved Bavarian flavours that we just know our customers are going to love.”
The Auld Hag opened up in Edinburgh at the start of November, after Gregg got his eye on Stockbridge.
Speaking on Instagram, he said: “Since we opened in Angel, I’ve always wanted to open the second one in Edinburgh. I worked at Earthy when I lived there and it was inspiration for what the shop is today.
“Stockbridge was one of the key areas in our mind – the weekend market, our pals already smashing it with bakeries, clothing shops, bars and restaurants and overall, just a class food and drink scene.”
