Dunbar, East Lothian - Scotland Belhaven - or "Beautiful harbor" - nestles among the rolling barley fields of the beautiful East Lothian coast, about 20 miles east of Edinburgh. For almost 300 years, they've brewed here using only the finest local barley and the finest hops. Founded in 1719, Belhaven is Scotland's oldest working brewery. Thanks to the abundance of local barley, the quality of the brewery's well water, and access to coastal markets, Belhaven was the perfect location for a brewery at the time, and it still is today.
