Brewing has been a tradition in Scotland for centuries, so it is as intertwined with Scottish culture as beer is with Bavarian tradition. The coastal town of Dunbar in southeast Scotland is no exception and has an illustrious brewing history. According to legend, monks brewed the first beer here in 1150. No wonder, then, that John Johnstone felt called upon to found his Belhaven Brewery in this legendary location in 1719. A brewery that is now more than 250 years old, making it the oldest operating brewery in Scotland.

Tried and tested

Belhaven Brewery's beer enjoyed great popularity right from the start, and it soon reached beyond Dunbar's local borders. The hype spread from Scotland to England in the 19th century to the imperial court in Vienna, Austria. Today, Belhaven Brewery is posting numbers that many small craft beer brewers can only dream of. But it's no surprise, as the beers from Belhaven Brewery are still good. Old Scottish classics get a modern makeover in the capable hands of the master brewers at Belhaven Brewery - the result is hits like the Scottish Ale or the Scottish Oat Stout . Despite all the tradition, the brewery also has a good nose for the demands of beer drinkers today. With trendy beers like the Twisted Thistle IPA and cool label design, Belhaven Brewery continues to meet the tastes of the beer scene.

Sensationally good

Emperor Ferdinand I once described Belhaven Brewery's beer as the Burgundy of Scotland - an accolade for Scottish brewing products, especially considering that beer was considered the drink of the proletariat at the time. Wine has long been viewed as the more elite of alcoholic beverages. When an emperor puts Belhaven Brewery's beer on a par with the most famous of all wines, it is quite a sensation. At least it's a guarantee of success and, in addition to the excellent beer, another explanation for the brewery's ever-increasing popularity.
