For those not in the know, the beers are pretty solid; Thats a given! But what’s less we’ll know is that Stewart’s do an amazing breakfast at the weekends. For those craving something rich to start the day (or maybe finish off a morning on the bike, etc.) this is a must! The evening pizza menu is also very good and is kept up to date with a variety of seasonal specials.
Visited here as part of a private booking.
The tour of the brewery is preceded by a talk and slide show outlining the history of Stewart Brewery all down to the use of a kitchen sink in the very early days - see pic!
Obviously an excellent beer, of which there is a large choice, was being supped during the talk. 😀
The actual tour was interesting and various dry barleys and hops used in the brewing process could be tasted.
There is a small cafe where food can be consumed to help soak up the beer!
Especially interesting and unusual is a pizza featuring haggis which was thoroughly enjoyed!
Recommended if you an interest in beers.
We went for the brewery tour and it was a great experience. It's a smallish facility so there's not loads to see, but it's great value: £15 and you get to choose a beer on arrival (including their small batches), you get a Radical Road during the tour and a beer token to spend in the bar after. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the beer making process and we learned a few interesting facts, without getting the usual corporate PR stuff you get at bigger breweries. The bar and pizza kitchen is really good too, with all their beers on tap and proper Neapolitan pizza.
I am not a drinker but I had heard the pizzas here are amazing so we had to pay a visit. We came for lunch and it was relatively quiet. The car park is small but there are plenty of spaces to park on the street. The location is actually very good as it’s slightly out the way but not too far. You get a really relaxed vibe when coming here with a mix of stools and ordinary tables to sit at. I’d imagine it will get busy in the summer with the outdoor seating area. I like how it’s an open kitchen so you can watch the man do his work. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The menu is a good size and not overwhelming and I like how they have specials and they change the menu now and again. My wife went with the locally caught haggis pizza. I was tempted by that also but ended up going with truffle pudding pizza. We also got the red one garlic pizza bread on the side. From the pizzas the haggis one was better. It was that good that my wife only gave me one slice despite being very full. The dough was excellent and held the pizzas perfectly. It was cooked well underneath and the flavours on the pizza went perfectly together. This could potentially be the best pizza my wife has ever had. The truffle garden pizza was also really nice but not on the same level. Again, the pizza base was well cooked but feel that the black pudding on the pizza was a bit much for me. I kept thinking that the pizza was burnt because of the taste but I think it was just the black pudding. I usually love white base pizzas but this one wasn’t as good this time. It’s just personal preference so I reckon if I ordered something else I would have enjoyed it more. Both pizzas weren’t greasy/oily at all and I loved it how each table came with pizza slicers, chilli oil and flakes. The red one garlic pizza bread was fine but we wish we had ordered just ordinary garlic bread because we felt that the tomato sauce ruined it a bit.
Overall, this place warrants a 5 stars and we will definitely be back to try the other pizzas.
Great place , visited on a Saturday and would recommend booking , for a place in the middle of nowhere this is worth the trip. The staff very friendly and attentive. I was booked on a brew experience and Nathan guided me through the process and then it was time to eat pizza ( lovely choice) and drink more beer ( fantastic choice )
Went to brew my own beer with some family members - great fun, very informative and then there's a bar at the end of it. And pizza for while you wait.
Looking forward to bottling my beer in a couple of weeks, then drinking it.
Outstanding service and products, highly recommend Stewart Brewing to all! he guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the beer making process and we learned a few interesting facts, without getting the usual corporate PR stuff you get at bigger breweries.

My wife and I are regulars at Stewart’s Brewing. We love it there, and had a lovely night for the Valentines Special on Tuesday. Staff are attentive and friendly, who always provide excellent customer service. As my wife is pregnant, they are always helpful with non-alcoholic suggestions. Whilst we booked on Tuesday, they are always accommodating of our frequent walk-in requests. The pizzas…. are incredible - I loved the Valentines Special and the frequently updated menu. We are returning next week with 2 friends who are new to the area. Stewart’s Brewing is one of the highlights of being a Loanhead resident. Many thanks to the staff, Andrew & Kate
It was okay pizza was nice staff friendly enough
Great fun place to visit! A real brewery with a super indoor and outdoor eatery. Delicious pizzas! Friendly and efficient service, pleasant ambience, lots of beers to try! The best Gluten Free pizzas I've ever eaten!
