Belhaven 300th Birthday Bash

Belhaven Brewery is to host a weekend festival at the brewery this September to celebrate 300 years of brewing beautiful beers.

The ‘Belhaven 300th Birthday Bash’ is set to take place on Saturday 21st September and will be a celebration of the very best of Scottish music and beer.

Belhaven’s story marries 300 years of history with a distinctly modern outlook and the festival line up reflects this marriage of traditional and modern. The main stage showcases the very best in Scottish traditional music and top talent from Scotland’s folk scene over the last three decades.

The line-up includes household names like Dougie MacLean and Capercaillie to innovative new bands like Assynt (‘Up and Coming Artist of the Year’ at the BBC Scots Trad Music Awards 2018) and Kinnaris Quintet.

Multi award-winning Scottish contemporary folk band Breabach are joined by Highland outfit Tide Lines, Niteworks who have become renowned for their fusion of electronica and folk music, and of course Elephant Sessions and Talisk - both winners of Belhaven’s annual bursary for innovation in Scottish music.

Gates open at 11am with the first act taking to the stage at 12pm. Meanwhile the brewery gardens will host family activities including music masterclasses.

Belhaven Brewery’s award winning beers will be served from tap bars around the brewery grounds including 1719, a specially brewed birthday celebration pale ale, Twisted Grapefruit IPA, current Scottish Beer of the Year, gold-medal winner Twisted Thistle IPA and of course Scotland’s favourite ale, Belhaven Best.

There will be food stalls featuring delicious choices as well as Belhaven Brewery and bands merchandise stalls.
