The Cairngorm Brewery Company, established in 2001, is situated in the village of Aviemore within the Cairngorms National Park in the Highlands of Scotland. We brew traditional ales with a fresh new edge, by using well established brewing methods, the finest malted and roast barley, hops and crystal clear mountain water. We have a full range of permanent and seasonal cask beers to suit all tastes and 8 of our products are available throughout the year in 500ml bottles. Due to a high demand for our product, we have recently upgraded to a 20-barrel brewery, producing 720 gallons (3240 litres) of the finest of ale each day. Our traditional Scottish recipes such as Stag and Wild Cat are well established, giving a consistent quality product. Along side these we have added new contemporary brews like Trade Winds and White Lady.
We are proud that our small team of 15 lads and lassies continue to win awards for our ales. We were thrilled to receive the accolade of Champion Beer of Scotland in 2004 with Tradewinds and 2005 with Black Gold. Tradewinds also won Speciality Beer of Britain 2004, 2005 and 2006 and UK Champion Best Bitter in 2008. Nessie’s Monster Mash received Best Bitter Bronze medal at the CAMRA Great British Beer Festival in 2008
The Brewery is open to the public. We have a small shop selling our full range of bottles together with polypins and party barrels of our permanent and seasonal cask products. We provide tours and offer samples of our ales. Our aim is to continue to produce a varied range of malty and hoppy ales to appeal to all palates. Feedback from our customers is always very welcome and we consider it necessary for the development of our products and services.
