Belhaven Brewery

Belhaven Brewery is a brewery building in Dunbar, East Lothian, that has operated in the same location for over three centuries. The facility produces ales, stouts, and lagers using traditional Scottish brewing methods and locally sourced ingredients.

The brewery was established in 1719 as one of many in the region that gradually closed over time. It became the only one to survive and continue operating through subsequent centuries.

The brewery backs emerging Scottish musicians through its Bursary program, weaving music support into its community identity. This connection reflects how the business integrates itself into local cultural life beyond just producing beer.

Visitors can join guided tours of the brewing facility to see the production process firsthand and learn how beer is made. The tours typically include explanations of the brewing methods and beer tasting at the end.

The brewhouse underwent a major renovation in 2012 that allowed the business to increase its production capacity. The renovation demonstrates how the facility preserved traditional methods while modernizing its operations.
