Spirits are high at Belhaven Brewery, with the Dunbar-based team wining a series of awards for their beers and visitor experience.
Belhaven’s award-winning visitor centre
Belhaven hit the top spot twice at the 2023 Icons of Beer Awards. It won visitor attraction of the year for the second time in a row, while Fiona Matheson, Belhaven’s brand manager, was named visitor attraction manager of the year.
“I’m thrilled to be recognised by the Icons of Beer Awards, and especially pleased that we’ve taken home visitor attraction of the year for two consecutive years,” said Fiona.
“Belhaven is the oldest working brewery in Scotland. It’s a very special place for our tours and events. And, of course, our beers are great!
“But it’s the people that really make Belhaven Brewery what it is. My team’s hard work creates a fantastic atmosphere where everyone is welcome and everyone has a good time, learning about our heritage and our beer. I’m so proud that their hard work has been recognised.”
Belhaven Brewery also won two International Beer Challenge awards. Belhaven Scottish Ale was awarded the bronze taste award, while the Belhaven Craft Range picked up a gold design and packaging Award.
The brewery’s much-loved Scottish Ale scooped silver at this year’s Scottish Beer Awards.
