The festive season wouldn’t be complete without the return of one of Williams Bros. Brewing’s most celebrated limited editions - Nollaig, the 7% ABV Festive Spruce Ale that has become a winter tradition for craft beer lovers across Scotland.
This seasonal release is brewed with hand-picked spruce sprigs and bold American hops, combining to create a beer that’s as vibrant and refreshing as a walk through a winter forest.
Layered over a rich malt backbone, these ingredients deliver a harmonious blend of piney, citrusy, and subtly resinous flavours that perfectly balance festive warmth with hop-forward intensity.
The result is a beer that’s full-bodied, aromatic, and unmistakably merry — a true celebration of craftsmanship and the season.
Fans of Williams Bros. will be delighted to hear that Nollaig will soon be available online and in-store. 44cl cans will be available for purchase directly from our website.
Adding to the excitement, this year’s release as ever also includes much sought after & strictly limited batch of 1-litre, bottle-conditioned swing-top Growlers — just 500 bottles in total.
These exclusive collector’s editions will roll out to Scotland’s best-loved independent bottle shops during the first week of November, including:

Best enjoyed chilled — and with good company - it’s a beer that captures the essence of the holidays in every sip.
So, raise a glass, savour the pine, and drink chilled & be merry — Nollaig is back for 2025, bringing festive flavour and Scottish spirit to your celebrations once again.
