KERR’S BEERS FUSE OLD-FASHIONED BEER STYLES WITH A MODERN SENSIBILITY
Kerr’s Farm Brewed Ales is a family-owned brewery founded in 2022 with the aim of fusing traditional beers styles with modern ingredients and rigorous scientific approach.
To develop our recipes, we scour historical records of long-forgotten breweries for inspiration, while looking far and wide for flavourful hops, and closer to home for high quality barley varieties grown in the British Isles. The end result: uniquely flavoured, beautifully balanced beers that nod to the brews of days long past.
CRAFT BEERS, MICRO-BREWED ON A FARM IN MIDLOTHIAN, SCOTLAND
FARM-BREWED
Kerr’s Brewery is located on Rosemains Farm – a working arable farm on Preston Hall Estate. The brewery is in the old Engine Room at Rosemains Steading, the original farm buildings which now house a community of exciting businesses. The Rosemains Steading location was chosen in large part because the farm is run with the same consideration for working in harmony with the natural environment as Kerr’s Brewery strives towards. And the surrounding fields and wildflower meadows will provide a beautiful backdrop for the taproom!
TIED TO THE LAND
What’s good for the earth is good for high-quality brews. The bulk of our ingredients are sourced from UK providers, including traditional UK hop varieties, and barley grown as close as Fife. The brew system and infrastructure are designed with sustainability in mind. The brewery is 100% electric, with half of our energy generated by solar panels recently installed on the nearby grain shed, supplemented with renewable energy supplied by Rosemains Farm.
A FAMILY EFFORT
James is the head brewer, but he isn’t the only one in the family with a passion for good beer. His parents, Peter and Christine, are co-founders of Kerr’s Farm Brewed Ales. They run a process-machinery supply company and help keep the brewery equipped with high quality brewing vessels. James’ brother Tom helps out with market stalls and online orders, while Tom’s fiancĂ©e Katie is now the brewery’s head of sales.
CURRENTLY MOST OF KERR’S BEERS ARE FILLED INTO CASKS FOR THE PUB TRADE.
