Stewart Brewing

Edinburgh's local brewery in everything but postcode (technically Loanhead, just south of the city bypass). Stewart Brewing produces the most widely available cask ale in Edinburgh — Edinburgh Gold appears on hand-pulls across the city and is a reliable, well-made golden ale. The range extends into modern craft territory with Radical Road (a Scotch-hopped pale ale using Scottish-grown hops) and a rotating seasonal programme. The brewery tap room runs tours and tastings at weekends. A solid, unpretentious operation that bridges the gap between traditional cask ale and modern craft without alienating either audience.
