About The Brewery
Who We Are
The Kelburn Brewing Company is a family run business based in Barrhead, East Renfrewshire, Scotland. It is run by Derek Moore, his son Ross and daughter Karen.The company was formed in October 2001 and commenced brewing in April 2002.
How We Came To Be
In the mid seventies, Derek realised that the quality of ale in the U.K. left something to be desired and determined to do something about it.
As a science graduate from Paisley University he had some knowledge of the brewing process and decided to develop this through his experiments in home brewing. He was greatly assisted by the brewers at the now sadly defunct Strathalbyn Brewery.
His love of good quality ale caused him to join the Campaign for Real Ale in 1978 and later to form the Renfrewshire Branch of CAMRA in 1981. In 1997 Derek helped form the Houston Brewery where he and his son Ross brewed award-winning ales.
Our Pledge To You
Kelburn exists solely to produce quality ales. It is a directors pledge that this will not be compromised for any reason whatsoever.
