Tempest Brewery is proud to announce the release of a limited-edition beer, Fast Track 10, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Borders Railway. This exclusive ale will be available to buy from 9 September, marking its official launch date, and throughout the remainder of the month.

The Borders Railway, which was inaugurated by HRH The Queen in September 2015, has been a transformative infrastructure project, reconnecting communities and driving economic growth in the Scottish Borders and Midlothian regions. The railway has successfully generated over 13 million passenger journeys across its 30-mile route, becoming a catalyst for social and economic change.

Fast Track 10 is a tribute to this remarkable achievement. The name of the beer brings together three significant elements: the short travel time from Edinburgh to Tweedbank, the 10th anniversary of the railway's opening, and the ten stations along the track from Waverley to Tweedbank. With only 600 cans produced, this commemorative beer is a must-have for enthusiasts and supporters of the Borders Railway.

 Annika Meiklejohn, Co-owner of Tempest Brewing CO Ltd said: "We are thrilled to be part of this celebration, the Borders Railway has had a profound impact on the success of Tempest Brewery and we wanted to create something special to mark this milestone. Fast Track 10 is a reflection of our pride in the railway's success and our commitment to the Borders".
