Business: G and J Maclachlan
Location: Glasgow
Type: Brewery
The Castle Brewery was built in 1889 by the Glasgow brewing and distilling partnership of G. & J. Maclachlan. It made use of a former linen and cotton factory which had been owned by Robert Jeffrey & Sons.
Unfortunately there was not enough space to expand to meet increased demand, so a new Castle Brewery was commissioned in 1900, to be built in Edinburgh. The Castle Brewery closed in 1907, and was demolished sometime between 1915 and 1932.
Active: 1889 - 1907
Address: Wynford Street
Status: Demolished
