Scotland is a great producer of many things, whisky, shortbread, the telephone, The Proclaimers 
. Another thing that Scotland is now well known for is craft beer. For those of you who aren't sure what craft beer really is and how it differentiates to the bigger Scottish lager and beer brands such as Belhaven and Tennent's is that craft beer is beer made in a non-mechanised way by a small brewery.
To promote the vast amount of craft beer created in Scotland, we now have a Craft Beer Map on our website! One of the breweries featured on this map is the Fyne Ales brewery, looking over the stunning Loch Fyne. Fyne Ales have been creating many different craft beers since 2001 and were named 'Beer Destination of the Year' at the 2017 Scottish Beer Awards.

In Dundee 71 Brewing has re-established a working brewery in the city. They are based in the Hawkhill area of the city in a cracking red-brick old-style warehouse called The Ironworks. They are now offering tours of their Taproom showing the brewing process. A great local business playing their part in contributing to the growth of the area. Exciting times for the region and 71 Brewing are real advocates for the ongoing regeneration of Dundee!
