About
Williams Bros Brewing Company is a Scottish family-owned microbrewery, founded and operated by brothers Bruce and Scot Williams.

The Williams Bros. Brewing Co. started life in the humble ‘Glenbrew’ homebrew shop in Glasgow. The first beer brewed was the ‘Fraoch’ Heather Ale at a small 5-barrel brewery in Taynuilt, After the 2nd year of brewing in the Taynuilt brewery and with demand far out stripping supply the brothers decided to expand and also to diversify the range with five Historic Ales. These ales were produced at the new purpose built brewery and premises in Craigmill, Strathaven from 1998-2004.

In 2004 the brothers took over the ‘Forth Brewery’ at Kellibank, Alloa where Maclay’s had been contract brewing and packaging their beers since the sale of their old Alloa brewery. It was at this stage in proceedings that Heather Ale Ltd became Williams Bros. Brewing Co.

Can on 19th February 2026 from Aldi, Kentish Town. Pours slightly hazy amber with shallow, quickly collapsing off-white foam and scant lacing. Earthy, pungent notes, tangy fruits and nutty malts in aroma. Pines, resins and peels in-mouth. Berry fruits, sharp spices and sweet malts dominate the finish. Medium bodied with a zingy mouthfeel.

[44cl can from my local Aldi.] A hazy amber pour with a fading white head; citrus aroma with a little pine resin; juicy citrus taste with lots of orange and lemon; then a crisp dry finish. Good stuff.
