Stewart Brewing’s 6th birthday
This weekend saw the continuation of an Edinburgh tradition – the annual open day at Stewart Brewing. The Loanhead micro throw a yearly birthday party to celebrate another 12 months of trading – and happily the BeerCast had an invite. Each year Steve and Jo produce a special celebration ale to mark the occasion – […]
Hooray for Hollyrood
There was a great bit of local news this week as Loanhead’s Stewart Brewing picked up a gong in the 2010 World Beer Awards. Hollyrood (5.0%) was named world’s best Blonde/Golden in the Pale Ale category, announced at the end of July by a selection of beer writers chaired by Roger Protz and Jeff Evans […]
BrewDog’s The End of History
There’s definitely a reason why BrewDog elicit more conversation and comment than any other Scottish brewer – arguably any other British brewer. Just when you think their last wacky stunt is the peak of ingenuity/madness, within a couple of months there’s another press release, another bizarre and totally pointless beer that enters the market.

Orkney IPA
As we’ve said before, we’re big fans of Orkney here on the BeerCast (not least panellist Grooben who grew up there), and the ales that come from that part of the world, courtesy of Sinclair Orkney and Highland. Rob Hill started off at the first, and then left to found the second. It’s been a […]
Stewart Pilsen Launch
Last night saw the launch of two new beers from Stewart Brewing – their fairly new Dopplebock [sic] (7.0%) and their very new Pilsen (5.6%) – which was only bottled at the weekend following eleven weeks of conditioning. The BeerCast were invited along, so we turned up at the Windsor Buffet on Elm Row and […]
