The Twa Dugs public house in Ayr, Ayrshire has launched a referendum ale with special Yes and No cask ales going on sale. Bar owner Bob Shields collaborated with Ayr Brewing Company to launch the beer aiming to have a bit of fun ahead of the Scottish referendum in September. The idea started of as a pub joke but started growing as a result of the "Yes" and " No" discussions in the pub. Bob then contacted Anthony Valenti who came up with the two contrasting real ales and designed the pump badges.
