Harviestoun Brewery

One of Scotland's oldest and most decorated craft breweries. Harviestoun has been making beer at the foot of the Ochil Hills since 1985 — long before 'craft beer' was a marketing term. Bitter & Twisted is their flagship: a blonde ale that's won more awards than any other Scottish beer, including CAMRA's Champion Beer of Britain. Schiehallion (a craft lager) and Old Engine Oil (a viscous, black porter) are equally excellent. Harviestoun's approach is unfashionable in the best sense — they perfect existing styles rather than chasing trends. No tap room currently, but widely available across Scotland in both cask and bottle.
