Tempest Brewery is proud to announce the release of the limited-edition beer, Fast Track 10, created to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Borders Railway.
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.
Commemorative Beer
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 10 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.

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 Scottish Borders.
Councillor Euan Jardine, Council Leader
The 10th anniversary of the Borders Railway is a landmark moment for our region. Over the last decade it has reconnected communities, boosted our economy, and transformed lives. The launch of Fast Track 10 is a creative way of marking this milestone, and I welcome the pride it represents in the railway’s success.
Councillor David Parker, Executive Member for Health and Wellbeing
The introduction of the new beer, crafted specially for this occasion, adds a unique touch to our celebratory event taking place on 9 September. It symbolises the innovation and collaboration that have been the hallmarks of our journey.
I'm thrilled to see it on sale and look forward to enjoying this special brew and commemorating this milestone with everyone who was part of the enormous effort to bring the railway back to the Borders.
After its launch on 9 September at the anniversary event held at Tempest Brewery Taproom in Tweedbank, this commemorative beer will be pouring on tap with a limited number of cans available for purchase from the Tempest Brewery shop in Tweedbank.
