A NEW range of energy drinks is set to be launched in Scotland later this month by the makers of Irn-Bru.
AG Barr said its Pwr-Bru drink will contain the “iconic Irn-Bru essence for a unique taste,” and like its counterparts such as Red Bull and Monster will contain caffeine, taurine and B-Vitamins.
Those who want a taste before the official launch on August 28, can look for “scan the can” QR codes that have been placed around various cities in Scotland such as; Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness and Perth.

Clues as to the whereabouts will be revealed on Pwr-Bru's social media channels over the next 10 days, according to the company.
However, with only 400 cans in circulation fans will need to be quick to get their hands on one of the cans.
Annette Yates, head of brand at Pwr-Bru, said: “Pwr-bru is a combination of the unique personality of Irn-Bru and a bold new approach to energy drinks.
"It’s one of the biggest launches ever from the family behind Irn-Bru and we think fans of energy drinks are going to enjoy adding a Pwr-Brust to their day.”

Pwr-Bru will then be available in retailers in 500ml cans across Scotland from August 28. For more information, visit www.pwr-bru.co.uk
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
