Everywhere We Brew: Scottish Breweries Unite for World Cup Charity Beer Series

Independent breweries from across Scotland have come together to celebrate the country’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a unique beer collaboration that supports a Scottish children’s charity founded by football fans.

The Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal (TASA) has partnered with a number of Scottish craft breweries to launch the “Everywhere We Brew: TASA Beer Series” – a collection of limited-edition beers created to mark Scotland’s return to football’s biggest stage while raising funds for children in need.

The initiative launched with a tap takeover on Wednesday 20 May at the Shilling Brewing Company on West George Street in Glasgow, the first in a series of events planned across Scotland. This was followed by a second tap takeover in Edinburgh on Friday 22 May at The Hanging Bat, 133 Lothian Road.

A portion of profits from every beer sold will be donated directly to the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal. Since its foundation in 2003, the charity has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for children’s charities, making these donations at over 110 consecutive Scotland matches in 50 countries around the world.

Rhode Island-based organisation Project Goal has been selected as the charity recipient for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Tournament, and TASA will make a £5,000 donation on the day of the Haiti v Scotland game.

Clark Gillies, Secretary of the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal, said: “Scotland qualifying for the 2026 World Cup is something supporters have dreamed about for decades, so we wanted to mark the occasion in a way that reflects the spirit of the Tartan Army. By working with some of Scotland’s fantastic independent breweries, the ‘Everywhere We Brew’ series allows fans to celebrate together while helping us continue our work supporting children’s charities both at home and abroad.”

Scotland’s qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup — the nation’s first appearance at the tournament in 28 years — has inspired the collaboration, bringing together the passion of the Tartan Army with the creativity of Scotland’s craft brewing community. Each brewery has created its own limited-edition beer, showcasing a variety of brewing styles while contributing to the same charitable cause. All cans and bottles feature TASA branding and information about the charity’s work supporting vulnerable children.
