Stewart Brewing Ltd

A brewery in Loanhead.

Stewart Brewing, founded in 2004 by Steve and Jo Stewart, is Edinburgh's original craft beer brewery!
Our business is based on three basic principles:

to produce beers of the highest quality possible
to provide an exceptional service to our customers
to have fun doing it
Stewart Brewing quickly established itself as one of Scotland's most successful and reputable breweries. Over the years, we have continued to innovate and develop, whilst upholding the traditional ethos of Edinburgh's rich brewing history. A payroll, which consisted of just Jo and Steve Stewart, now supports over 30 employees who work across a range of departments, from retail to production.

We began with a line up of three cask ales. The next natural step was to produce a range of bottled beers and to extend our range of cask and keg brews to accommodate the more experimental drinker. That said, 2010 seemed to inundate us with restriction after restriction; our custom made 10-barrel brew house was, quite literally, full to the brim. We brewed around the clock at maximum capacity but couldn't keep up with demand. This could only mean one thing; a brand new 50 hectolitre Bavarian brew kit being housed in a new custom-built brewery.
