Strathaven Ales
Microbrewery in Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, Scotland 🏴
Established in 2005
Closed in 2022
We consider our beers to be very traditional, our brewing, unlike modern facilities is a hands-on labour intensive process crafted by three generations of the same family.
Manufacturing in an old building brings its challenges and we have retained many of the original mill features and a large part of the original gearing. Although this often gets in the way we feel it is part of what ensures the beer has a character not achieved in modern production units.
