SUMMARY:Brewery of the Day: Belhaven
DESCRIPTION:Sitting among the barley fields of East Lothian\, just outside Dunbar\, Scotland’s oldest working brewery has been doing its thing since 1719. More than 300 years later\, the beer is still brewed right there using local water\, malted barley and Belhaven’s own yeast. There are even ancient cellars on the site linked to the Benedictine monks who brewed in Dunbar centuries ago. That’s a fair bit of brewing history beneath your feet before you’ve even ordered a pint. \nAnd what we love about Belhaven is that its beers are so unmistakably Scottish. This is the land of 80 Shilling – or “80 bob” if you prefer – alongside stouts\, IPAs and the hugely popular Belhaven Best. There’s a brilliant sense of place about it all: a brewery on the Scottish coast\, surrounded by some of the country’s finest barley-growing land\, still producing beers with the malty\, characterful flavours generations of Scottish drinkers have enjoyed. Yet there’s plenty for a new generation to discover too. \nBetter still\, Belhaven is getting properly stuck into Cask Ale Week\, with participating pubs offering CAMRA members 25% off cask during the promotion. So whether you already know your 80/- from your Wee Heavy or the world of Scottish ale is completely new territory\, this seems a very good week to investigate. Find a handpull\, order yourself a pint and raise a glass to more than three centuries of Scottish brewing. Slàinte! \nDiscover more: Visit Belhaven Brewery and explore the story of Scotland’s oldest working brewery.

SUMMARY:Brewery of the Day: Thwaites
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Thwaites. The family has been brewing in Lancashire since 1807 and\, six generations later\, they’re still at it – although these days the beer comes from a smaller\, modern brewery at Mellor Brook in the beautiful Ribble Valley. \nAnd small really is part of the appeal. Thwaites made a conscious move away from big industrial brewing and back towards doing things on a more human scale. The brewers describe using their senses to guide every brew from grist to cask\, producing the bitters and ales drinkers know and love alongside a rolling line-up of seasonal and small-batch cask beers. In other words\, there’s usually a very good reason to have a look along the handpulls and see what they’ve been up to. \nThat feels like a pretty good way to round off our Brewery of the Day celebrations. More than 200 years of family brewing\, proper Lancashire pubs\, a modern little brewery making cask with plenty of character – and four enormous horses keeping an eye on proceedings. If you spot Thwaites on the bar this Cask Ale Week\, give it a try. You may just find a new favourite. And yes\, we think all breweries should come with Shire horses too. \nDiscover more: Visit Thwaites and explore the story of more than two centuries of Lancashire brewing.
