Stewart Brewing is an independent craft brewery based on the outskirts of Edinburgh in Loanhead, Midlothian.[1] It was established in 2004 by Steve and Jo Stewart.
It produces hand-crafted premium beer in small batches, which are available in approximately 200 real ale pubs in Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife, the Borders, Glasgow and Newcastle. It also sells mini casks and bottled beers from its brewery shop.
Its current cask beer range includes:
- Pentland IPA (3.9%) A golden dry ale, with slight fruit tones and a moderate bitterness. Fresh hop cones are added in four stages to contribute a more complex character, resulting in an easy to drink ale that offers refreshment with a little extra spice.
- Copper Cascade (4.1%) Copper Cascade is a deep red, full bodied, medium dry beer. Its special character comes from the generous addition of North West American Cascade hops – a delightful hop with a spicy, floral, almost blackcurrant character.
- Edinburgh No.3 (4.3%) A full bodied, smooth, cask conditioned ale, with an intense colour, rich malty taste and clean finish. Brewed using soft Scottish water, four types of malt, subtly balanced using only a small amount of the finest fresh hop cones.
- Stewart's 80/- (4.4%) Full bodied, full flavoured auburn coloured classic heavy that was originally brewed for the world famous Athletic Arms (Diggers) in Edinburgh. It’s easy drinking with aromas of malt, light hops & fruit to compliment its smooth and creamy texture.
- Edinburgh Gold (4.8%) Refreshing, balanced and full of flavour. This is a captivating gold bier, sophisticated in taste and rich in colour. Edinburgh Gold boasts an attractive continental hop aroma with moderate bitterness and a pleasing smooth finish.
Alongside these there are always new monthly specials like: Summer Backbeat (4.8%), Forth Mist (3.9%), Zymic (3.8%), Cauld Reekie (6.2%), Three wise men (4.5%),Pumpkin ale (4.3%), Edinburgh Festival (3.9%) and Stewart's rugby ale (4%)
Stewart Brewing also has a range of bottled beers, launched at the end of 2009.[2]
Their bottled beer range includes:
- Embra (5%) A classic full bodied amber beer with powerful aromas of earthy fruits. Malt and caramel flavours help to balance a full, yet soft bitterness.
- Edinburgh Gold (4.8%) Refreshing, balanced and full of flavour. This is a captivating gold bier, sophisticated in taste and rich in colour. Edinburgh Gold boasts an attractive continental hop aroma with moderate bitterness and a pleasing smooth finish.
- St. Giles (5%) Dark, rich and smooth with roast chocolate aroma it has a full and robust body.
- Hollyrood (5%) Pale in colour with a full fresh citrus aroma, Hollyrood has a light body, moderate bitterness and tangy grapefruit flavours. It won the "World's Best Blonde Golden Pale Ale" at the World Beer Awards 2010.[3]
