Scottish Brewing Heritage

SCOTTISH BREWING
A TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION

The Scottish Brewing Heritage website has been created by Brewing Heritage Scotland, a Community Interest Company (SC 476026) in which all money that is generated is utilised to support the creation of transportable and permanent displays on brewing related themes, and to create a digital record of Scottish brewing history.

The initiative was conceived by members of the Scottish Brewing Archive Association to establish a permanent record of the breweries of Scotland that were in existence prior to 1970.

The directors of the company are not remunerated, and the strategic plan of the company is agreed and delivered through a committee of volunteers with extensive experience of the brewing industry and of brewing artefacts.


Our vision is to celebrate the Scottish brewing industry through its contribution to the Scottish economy and society, and to brewing science and technology.

Our key goals are:

  • To create displays that can be used to educate the public on the scope, activities, heritage and character of the Scottish brewing industry
  • To build a digital archive that records the history and heritage of the Scottish brewing industry
  • To demonstrate the importance and relevance of Scotland's brewing heritage to today's brewers and to their export aspirations
  • To educate the wider community on the role and impact of the Scottish brewing industry
