Three Wise Brewers

12.11.2009 / Category: News

Edinburgh Independent brewery, Stewart Brewing, are to extend their range of beers available in bars, restaurants and off-licences across the city in time for Christmas.

The core range additions include flavours from the light and hoppy to the dark and malty, making the beers suited to being enjoyed either on their own or alongside foods such as chicken and fish, as well as traditional Scottish dishes like Haggis and Stovies.
The three brand new beers ‘Embra’, ‘St. Giles’ and ‘Hollyrood’ will be launched alongside existing favourite ‘Edinburgh Gold’. The new beers will be available from 23rd November and will be recognisable by their unique labels showing Edinburgh landmarks including Arthurs Seat and Edinburgh Castle.

The season’s offerings will be complimented by Christmas beers ‘Cauld Reekie‘ and ‘Three Wise Men’ which will launch on the 1st of December and be available on draught and min-kegs. ‘The Three Wise Men‘  is described as “A balanced combination of pale, crystal, and wheat malts subtly infused with citrus fruits and a hint of cinnamon to give a very drinkable beer full of festive cheer.” While ‘Cauld Reekie‘ is ” .. a 6.2% velvety stout, crammed full of roasted flavour. Smooth, strong and to be enjoyed carefully!”

Stewart Brewing’s founder and MD, Steve Stewart, said: “Our decision to create bottled beers was mainly due to demand from our loyal and new customers. We have been growing steadily with this summer seeing our busiest quarter in terms of sales and production since we started in 2004. This is a very exciting time for us and the launch of the new bottles is the culmination of a lot of hard work from the whole team. We are really looking forward to hearing what our customers think.”

“The new format means our beers will be easier to stock in a much wider range of outlets, allowing more people to try them. Hopefully, we will be able to attract some new customers as well as offering more choice to our existing fans.”

Stewart Brewing only recently celebrated it’s fifth birthday, but already produces over 2,500 barrels per year and supplies them to over 250 venues across Edinburgh, Scotland and Northern England.

If you are planning a party or Christmas get-together, you can buy or rent casks direct from the brewery at very reasonable prices.
