Description

Traquair House Brewery is a brewery in the wing of Traquair House, directly beneath the chapel, and it dates back to the early 1700s. It was first a domestic brewery serving the house and estate, fell out of use in the early 1800s and was never dismantled. Peter Maxwell Stuart rediscovered it in the early 1960s and began brewing again in 1965 as an experiment, using the original equipment. The ales were fermented in the original oak tuns, some more than 200 years old. The ales offered include House Ale, Jacobite Ale and Bear Ale, and the brewery has marked its 2000th brew.
