About
Donnie and Ian started the Abernyte Brewery back in 2016 when hobby brewing got slightly out of hand. Strongly influenced by Bavarian brewery standards and styles, we use a German-made 500l Braumeister system to run out very small batches of lager and ale. Distribution is limited to the Carse of Gowrie, a rich agricultural area between Perth and Dundee on the North of the Tay estuary.
