Innis & Gunn Unveil Plans To Increase US Growth

Scottish brewing company Innis & Gunn is expanding into the US market with a bold new look.

As the largest independent, international beer company in the U.K., Innis & Gunn is set to expand its US presence. The brand has been in the US since 2005 with their Originals range of beers, which includes two expressions–The Original and Caribbean Rum Cask.

The new packaging changes will include a six-pack format over a four pack and a transition to clear glass bottles which will better showcase the colors of the beers inside. Each bottle features an embossed design that highlights the brand name and the home city of Edinburgh. New details have been added to the packaging to highlight the premium nature of the brand including embossed print and watermarks, gold foil details, and the signature of Master Brewer, Dougal Gunn Sharp.
