Golf stars Danny Willett, Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy will have the chance to charge their after-burners with the ales of two former RAF pilots, when the European Golf Tour goes to Inverness this weekend, for the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open!
Windswept Brewing Co star ales
The microbrewery run by the two former air aces has been selected as the only supplier of craft ales at the prestigious event, which runs from Thursday July 7, to Sunday, July 10.
Lossiemouth’s Windswept Brewing Company will be selling four of their craft beers throughout the tournament.

And this week, bosses Al Read & Nigel Tiddy will be bombing the organisers with 1300 pints of Typhoon, Tornado, Blonde and Wolf ales.
The fly-boys decided to take their brewing passion to the next level, combining it with their love of the outdoors, by creating ales that reflected the wild coast and hills of the Scottish Highlands.
They started their brewery in October 2012, with brewing vessels from Oban Ales in Fort William, and by the November had turned out their first brew, the 5 per cent APA.
These days, they can turn out 3,000 pints per brew.. and in 2015, of just 14 Scottish beers awarded distinguished Great Taste stars, six were Windswept!
