Discover the Belhaven Brewery
Established in 1719, Belhaven Brewery is the oldest working brewery in Scotland. Situated in Dunbar, the brewery nestles amongst the rolling barley fields of East Lothian, just 20 miles from Edinburgh.
At Belhaven we have a passion born of a proud brewing heritage. With a dedicated team drawing on a brewing tradition that dates back over 300 years we create friendly and approachable beers bursting with Scottish character, using malted barley, fresh spring water from a local source together with our unique Belhaven yeast.
Belhaven is home to the nation’s favourite ales, stouts and lagers: ideal for when people come together over a delicious pint, as good times shared are the BEST.
The Belhaven brewing process
From malting and mashing to fermentation and maturation, we combine traditional techniques with modern technology to ensure the highest quality and consistency of our beers. After our malt is milled and mashed, we add water and heat before cooling things back down ready for fermentation. Our beer’s then filtered and stored at the right temperature, before being packed up and sent out into the world.
A proud range of beers
Belhaven has a proud Scottish brewing heritage, producing a distinctive range of beers enjoyed in pubs across Scotland and beyond.
Brewed at the historic Belhaven Brewery in Dunbar, our beers combine centuries of brewing expertise with a commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
From the smooth, balanced character of Belhaven Best to the rich, roasted flavours of Belhaven Black, our portfolio celebrates the tradition and character of Scottish brewing.
