The Caledonian Brewery

Leider werden keine Besichtigungstouren angeboten was es für eine Brauerei in dieser Grössenordnung nicht gerade attraktiv macht! stellt sich die frage ob nicht andere oder gar finanzielle sorgen dahinter stehen.

Do you like beer? Do you like Ales? Do you like heritage?
Then you are at the right place at the Caledonian Brewery in Edinburgh/​Dalry, off Slateford Road!
Today I joined a 1.5h tour of the brewery premises to get some knowledge of Beer/​Ale brewing with an aftermath of tasting certain brands like Deuchars, Flying Scotsman, 80 Shillings and Over the Bar, my favourite being the FLYING SCOTSMAN.
I am not normally an ale drinker, but this time I made an exception. In addition we got some nice pies served with the beer what was the perfect ending to a nice day!
Check out their website!
You can book your own tours (especially popular with stag/​hen nights) which range from £12 to £30 dependent if you like food with your tour and beer/​ale tasting.
The brewery is old and traditional, still showing some of their original features. It’s very clean and presentable, not like other places.
Last but not least, the staff is very engaged and present the spirit of this place very well.
Enjoy!

The Caledonian Brewery has been producing fine ales since the second half of the nineteenth century and still is one of the most thriving businesses in the city. The brewery is unusual in a way as it focuses on brewing cask conditioned ale, which was normally brewed in England.
The stable ales that the brewery produces are Deuchers IPA and Caledonian 80 (a more typical Scottish like ale). However, throughout the years the brewery has produced a variety of different ales for special occasions. Ales such as Over the Bar, Highland Fling, Auld Acquaintance and Old Seadog are just some the ales which reinforced by enjoyment of Caledonian Brewery.
I started purely on Deuchers IPA and from then on, I began my journey through the many quality ales that this brewery produces. If you want to taste the best of Scottish brewing, then why not taste a tipple from the Caledonian Brewery!
