The beer was produced in Scotland for about 5000 years. The Celtic tradition of using herbs bittering remained in Scotland for more than the rest of Europe. The two main cities of Scotland, Glasgow and Edinburgh, where, historically, major breweries developed and Edinburgh in particular has become a center noted for the export of beer across the world. At the end of the 20th century, small breweries have sprung up across Scotland.
Despite a common misconception that beers in Scotland used less than hops in England, all available evidence shows that the Scots hops imported from around the world and used extensively.
History
Brewery in Scotland dates back at least 5000 years. Archaeologist MERRYN Dineley suggested that ale could have been made from barley Skara Brae and other sites of the Neolithic date. The beer was flavoured with meadowsweet like a kvass or gruit made by various tribes of northern Europe, including the Picts and Celts. By studying the organic analysis of the remains found in a gorge of ceramic pots and working with her husband, Graham, who is a brewery of some twenty years of experience, it was possible to reconstruct the ancient ale. They called Meadowsweet Ale.The use of herbs bittering to preserve the flavor and beer continues in remote areas of Scotland, he did that in the rest of the British Isles. Thomas Pennant wrote in a tour in Scotland in 1769 on the island of Islay "ale is often made by young people at the top of Health, a mixture of two-thirds of the plant with a malt, hops, adding sometimes."although, as in the rest of Britain, hops replaced herbs in Scotland by the end of the 19th century, this tradition Celtic bittering the use of herbs has been restored in Brittany by the Brasserie Lancelot in 1990,and Scotland by the Williams Brothers two years later.
Even if old brewing techniques and ingredients have been more in Scotland than the rest of Britain, the general trend of development is the same, with the brewery mainly in the hands of "broustaris", or alewives, and monasteries , Just as it was throughout Europe; if, as an ingredient in brewing, the trend has been changing to move more slowly. The Quartet Burgorum leges, a code of laws burgh, Aberdeen has shown that in 1509 more than 150 breweries - all women, and it compares with figures showing that London than 290 breweries, about 40% were men. After the Reformation in the years 1560 the brewery trade began to become more organized, as evidenced by the creation in 1598 of the Society of Edinburgh brewers - although London had formed his Brewers' Guild over 250 years earlier in 1342.
However, according to the laws of the Union 1707, new business opportunities have become available that have proven to be an important stimulus to Scottish brewers. Tax on beer has been held at an amount lower than the rest of the United Kingdom, and there was no tax on malt in Scotland - which has Scottish brewers a financial advantage. During the 18 th century, some of the most famous names in Scottish brewery established themselves as young William in Edinburgh, Robert & Hugh Tennent in Glasgow, and George Young to Alloa. In Dunbar in 1719, for example, Dudgeon & Company Belhaven brewery was founded. Scottish brewers, especially those in Edinburgh, were on the point of rivalling the largest brewers in the world.

While it has long been taken for various reasons, brewers Scottish does not make much use of hops, the information available from brewing and trade show that brewers in Edinburgh used as much hops English brewers,And that the strong, hoppy beer that Hodgeson exported to India and became known as IPA, was copied and brewed in Edinburgh in 1821,a year before Allsopp is estimated to have d First brewed in Burton. Robert Disher brewing in the Canongate of Edinburgh had such success with its hoppy Edinburgh Pale Ale as other brewers followed by Edinburgh, export strong, hoppy beer Scots throughout the British Empire, and Russia and America. The beer historians Charles McMaster and Martyn Cornell have shown that double-digit sales Edinburgh breweries compete with Dublin and Burton upon Trent.
Charles McMaster, "the first historian of the Scottish brewing industry," says Roger Protz,believes that water lasts Edinburgh is particularly suitable for brewing Pale Ale - particularly water wells on "charmed circle" of Holyrood by Canongate, Cowgate, Grassmarket and Fountainbridge, and, because of the quality of the water brewer Robert Disher was able to launch a hoppy Pale Ale Edinburgh in 1821.While Martyn Cornell in Beer: The Story of the Pint, has shown that when Burton brewers in the late 1800s were exporting their hoppy Burton August in the form of India Pale Ale, so were William McEwan and William Young breweries. When Burton brewers exported strong malt Burton August, so that the brewers of Edinburgh, under the name Scotch Ale. Brewers Edinburgh has a very large and highly respected throughout the export trade settlements British rival those of Burton brewers. At the end of the 19th century Edinburgh was forty breweries and was "recognized as one of the main centres of brewing in the world".
Some writers such as Pete Brown Man Walks into a pub, beer and style for writers BJCP believe that beer brewed in Scotland developed significantly different from beer brewed south of the border. The belief is that hops were used sparingly, and that the shilling designation was particularly Scots. However, Dr John Harrison in Old British Beers gives a recipe for Brakspear brewery English of 1865 50 / - Pale Ale which 1.8 grams of hops are used by imperial gallon, with the brewer Scottish W. Young 's Ale 1896 No. 3 (Pale), which also uses 1.8 grams of hops per gallon imperial. Both indicate that there was no difference in the use of hops, even for domestic beer all day, and that the shilling designation was used in other parts of the British Isles.
