Northbound Brewery has launched three of its craft beers into Sainsbury's supermarkets across Northern Ireland, marking the Derry-based company's first major retail listing.

The 08 Kölsch, 26 Pale Ale and 70 IPA are now available in Sainsbury's stores regionwide under a new supply deal.

Founded a decade ago by Martina and David Rogers after they moved from Sydney to Derry, the independent brewery has grown from a small local producer. Its beers are inspired by European traditions and produced in the North West.

David Rogers, co-founder, said the listing was an important milestone that reflected the loyalty of customers and support from retail partners over the past ten years. He added that the brewery remains committed to independent, family-owned production.
