About
Established in 1719, Belhaven is Scotland’s oldest working brewery. With abundant local barley, fine water from the brewery well and access to markets up and down the coast, Belhaven was the perfect place for a brewery back then, and it still is today. In 1719, Dunbar market gardener John Johnstone erected a brewery close to Belhaven Bay and founded a brewing dynasty which was to last for 250 years and a brewery which would last much longer. The brewery and maltings persevered through the wars and upheavals of the early 20th Century and was eventually sold by John Johnstone’s descendants in 1972. In 2005 is was taken over by Greene King who kept the Brewery open in Scotland.

On tap at Harat's Pub, Zagreb, thanks Dima. Unclear golden, creamy white head. The aroma is butter, some cardboard, ripe and rotten fruit. Sharp, earthy, stale and buttery. Light body, moderate carbonation, dry finish.

500ml Bottle from Morrisons, Dunoon. Deep amber in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. Caramel, red berries and brown sugar, with a touch of leafy hop and moderately bitter finish. Reminded me of a stronger version of GK IPA. OK.

Bottle. Clear mahagony/ruby with just a very small but persistent white head. Subdued aroma of malts, nuts, toffee, raisins, caramel and fruitbread. Taste follows aroma plus dried fruits and minerals. Low bitterness. Low carbonation. Watery. Very mild and basically unremarkable but sit me down in some Victorian looking pub serving me a few pints and I‘ll be your happy little camper.
