George Hayward became the tenant of the Nairn Brewery after it was acquired by Alexander Mann, a local merchant. George had acquired over 30 years of experience as a brewer, initially in London, and latterly at the Haugh Brewery in Inverness.
When Alexander Mann offered the brewery for sale in 1860, George purchased it and continued to offer "ale and porter for ready money". However, by 1863 the brewery had been taken on by James Grant.
