Now firmly established as one of Scotland’s biggest and best independent breweries, our story springs from humble beginnings. Borne out of proud homebrewing traditions, Williams Bros Brewing can be traced back to one 5 barrel brew of Fraoch Heather Ale, first recreated from an ancient recipe gifted to us in our homebrew shop in Glasgow in 1988. With demand for this unique historical ale well outstripping our ability to supply, we took our recipe to the old Maclay's brewery in Alloa. It was here that the first bottles of Fraoch were brewed, and continue to be brewed to this day.

The Williams Bros. brewery has continued to expand organically around us, and developed to accommodate an ever-growing and dynamic brew team and range of beers. With a new brewhouse installed, and several exciting new recipes currently in development, things don’t show any signs of slowing down any time soon.
