An Edinburgh brewery is bringing back their charity beverage, to raise money for a Motor Neuron Disease (MND) charity.
Doddie Beir, in memory of the late Doddie Weir, was created to raise funds for the My Name’s Doddie Foundation which supports the lives of those affected by MND. Weir, who was a Scottish rugby union player, passed away in November after battling the disease.
The rugby legend first collaborated with Cold Town Beer back in 2020 to release the beer, which is now making a return to Edinburgh pubs. Since it was released, the brewery have raised over £6,500 for Weir’s charity.

This year, Cold Town will be donating 20p from every pint of Doddie Beir sold. The tipple will be available in selected venues until the end of the Six Nations Rugby tournament.
Nic Wood from Cold Town Beer said: “Cold Town Beer is proud to share Doddie Beir with Rugby fans for another year running, with the hopes of donating a minimum of £3,000 to Doddie’s foundation and help raise awareness of MND.

“We will forever hold the Doddie Beir pint close to our hearts, it was an honour to have crafted the brew with Doddie Weir and we want his legacy to live on forever in our venues.”
A spokesperson for Cold Town described the beer, saying: “Doddie Beir tastes exceptionally clean and refreshing, has a malty backbone with 100% malts and its key tasting notes are citrus, herbaceous and floral.”
You can find a pint of the brew at The Auld Hundred, Badger & Co, The Basement, The Black Bull, Cold Town House, The Fountain, Element, The Huxley, McLarens on the Corner, The Queens Arms and The Meadowpark.
