Description
Deeside Brewery is an independent craft beer producer based in Scotland’s crowning jewel – stunning Royal Deeside. We have been brewing since 2006 with a range of small batch hand crafted ales and lagers.

Deeside Brewery uses filtered spring water sourced from the River Dee, which starts 4000ft above seawater in the mountain ranges of the Cairngorms.

Our small team was enhanced in 2016 when we were joined by the founders of Loch Ness Brewery, Stephen Crossland and George Wotherspoon. This has brought us a new range of skills and experiences allowing us to develop our products further for the UK and Overseas markets with a focus on delivering consistently high beer quality as we continue to innovate and create new beers.
