Now firmly established as one of Scotland’s largest independent breweries (acting as a central hub for the bottling and packing of many of the countries best craft beers) our story has humble beginnings, borne out of proud home brewing traditions. The companies genesis can literally be traced back to one ‘home brew’ sized batch of Fraoch Heather Ale, recreated by Bruce from an ancient recipe.
Our first commercial brews of 'Scotland's Original Craft Beer' were at a 5-barrel brewery in Taynult near Oban on the West Coast. Here we were able to brew just enough to supply cask conditioned Fraoch to 5 premises, including the Clachaig in Glencoe, which to this day remains our most loyal and enduring customer.
