GLASGOW brewery Drygate Co. are adding some sweetness to their refreshments with a new Christmas stout.

The limited edition beer is inspired by Scottish sweet company Lee's famous snowball.  

Lee's are celebrating 90 years of business by teaming with Drygate to create the Snowball Stout, containing hints of coconut, sweet mallow and chocolate.

The new brew is one of Drygate's Convergence series, which has included collaborations with Dear Green Coffee and crime writer Chris Brookmyre who released his own grapefruit & rye IPA Killer Twist.
