Caledonian Brewery Visitor Centre

Every brewery will have stories you say. Well how about this then? The only other place you'll find the same chute of our steels masher (which, incidentally, we use everyday) is in Burton on Trent - in the Bass Brewing Museum. And speaking of a museum, that's essentially what we are - a living, working, thriving museum. A team of highly skilled brewers and motivated individuals all passionately dedicated to continuing the tradition of brewing ale in a Victorian Brew house which remains relatively unchanged since it's opening in 1869. It's hard not to champion The Caley - the local name. Surviving two raging fires is no small achievement. And what about the copper that switched itself on in the middle of the night and blew the roof right off? Well, it only took us a week to get some tarpaulin up, some umbrellas open and we went right on brewing.
