Belhaven Best Scotland`s Best beer being delivered at a local Scottish Pub in Dundee. 1719 may be the earliest documented evidence of the Belhaven Brewery. Monks, noted for brewing skills settled in the area from the 12th century. Luckily they had access to both fine water and top quality local barley. John Johnstone took ownership of the site in 1719 and it's widely accepted that under his ownership the brewery started brewing for commercial sale. 1815 saw the end of the Johnstone dynasty when Ellis Dudgeon married into the Johnstone family. For nearly 150 years, the brewery traded as Dudgeon & Co. Under Ellis Dudgeon and his successor, son-in-law Alexander Hunter, a wide variety of ales were produced. At this time, the 'shilling' terminology was widely used to categorise beers in Scotland. It was really just an invoice price but was a useful indicator of ascending strengths. The Dudgeon range stretched from light table / harvest beers (27/- and 36/-) to much stronger, export ales like the 54/- and 80/-. Belhaven Best launched in 1991 is beautifully balanced smooth and creamy honey coloured beer pioneered a new concept in beer drinking in Scotland. Best is dispensed using a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide otherwise known as nitrokeg technology. Adding to the family in 1998 Belhaven introduced Best Extra cold, the same delicious pint but with the temperature dropped a few degrees.
