The increase in popularity for real ales has seen Daniel Thwaites launch its Old Dan beer to be sold throughout supermarkets nationwide. Beatson Clark is pleased to have been chosen as supplier of the distinctive 330ml amber beer bottle with a characteristic crown neck finish. Lee Williams, Marketing Manager of Thwaites said: "Old Dan is actually a beer from our past, but is presented in a modern, contemporary manner. It was crucial that we had a bottle shape that resonated with this story and said "quality ale" to our consumer." "The character and flavours of the bottle conditioned beer like Old Dan develops, ages and becomes more complex over time, much like a fine wine or cask beer in a pub cellar. Using a good quality bottle is key to this process and we wanted Old Dan to be in a smaller sized bottle - Beatson Clark was our obvious choice."
