About Belhaven Brewery
Belhaven Brewery stands as Scotland's oldest working brewery, with brewing heritage dating back to 1719 in the historic coastal town of Dunbar, East Lothian. Nestled amongst the rolling barley fields of Scotland's grain belt, Belhaven has been crafting exceptional ales for over three centuries. The brewery's remarkable history began when John Johnstone established operations just outside Dunbar's town limits in 1719. For 250 years, the Dudgeon family maintained ownership, building a reputation that made Belhaven Scotland's largest surviving independent brewery by 2005, when Greene King completed a £187 million acquisition. Belhaven produces Scotland's No.1 ale—Belhaven Best—and Scotland's No.1 stout—Belhaven Black. The signature Scottish Ale remains their longest-brewed and best-selling bottled beer worldwide, crafted from 100% Scottish Optic and Crystal barley malts with Challenger and Goldings hops. The 80 Shilling (or "80/-") represents traditional Scottish brewing at its finest. The Category A listed brewery complex has earned recognition as the 2022 World Beer Awards visitor attraction of the year. Beyond brewing, Belhaven operates over 150 pubs across Scotland and the UK.
