Craft beer fans have handed the Yes campaign a landslide victory just days before the polls open in the Scottish independence referendum.

Brewmeister, based at Isla Bank Mills in Keith, sold bottles of Yes and No lager for one week through its website with a total of 946 bottles being sold between Monday, 8 September and Sunday, 14 September.

The Yes beers took 87% of the sales (785 bottles) with only 161 bottles of No beer being sold (17%), proving that beer drinkers are firmly in favour of a break away.

Sales and marketing manager at Brewmeister, Lewis Shand, said:

“Clearly, the Yes camp has shown us the most support in this project, having picked up a landslide victory among beer drinkers, and we thank them for that.”

The Yes and No beers were launched at the brewery by supporters of the Yes and No campaigns, who, alongside the brewers, encouraged beer fans to debate the big issues over a pint ahead of the referendum on 18 September.

A Better Together Spokesman said: “We are very confident our campaign will be toasting victory after a No vote on Thursday.”

A spokesman for Yes Scotland said: “We’ve always said that we have more bottle than the other side with the positive answers on tap at all times. So we’ll drink to that result – Cheers!”
