Award winning brewer marks M&S milestone

By Milan Perera  Tuesday Jul 8, 2025

An award-winning brewer is set to bring its flagship pale ale to the shelves of Marks & Spencer, marking a major milestone in brand exposure.

Wiper and True will roll out its flagship pale ale, 4.2% Kaleidoscope into some 239 stores in the south, including several outlets in Bristol.

Kaleidoscope, a pale ale, is the brewery’s most popular beer, known for its distinct bright citrus and tropical fruit flavours and smooth finish.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

Wiper and True, co-founded by Michael Wiper back in 2012 as a “nomadic brewing project” has won several top accolades including the Brewers Choice Awards in 2024.

“Kaleidoscope is a beer we’ve spent over a decade refining, and it’s a perfect introduction for M&S shoppers to the Wiper and True range,” said Michael Wiper, co-founder at Wiper and True – photo: Adam Gasson / Wiper and True

Michael Wiper, co-founder at Wiper and True, said: “We’re really proud to be launching into M&S – this is a retailer known for its high standards in quality and sourcing.

“Kaleidoscope is a beer we’ve spent over a decade refining, and it’s a perfect introduction for M&S shoppers to the Wiper and True range. We’re particularly excited to be starting this partnership close to home, in a region that has always supported us.”

The rollout aligns with Wiper and True’s wider summer promotion, Drink In Full Colour, which champions Kaleidoscope. The campaign covers out-of-home advertising, pop-up events, and sampling across Bristol, encouraging locals to rediscover its flagship ale.

After dropping their flag at St Werburgh’s, Wiper and True opened the state-of-the-art brewery and taproom in Old Market in 2022, with a greater emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility.

The original taproom at St Werburgh’s, Barrel Store, is still going strong and has become a popular community hub over the years.
