Scotland - Breweries

The ginger beer was created by a Scottish merchant named John Crabbie. Crabbie first imported ginger to make the beverage from the Far East into the port of Leith, Edinburgh in 1801. The method used by Crabbie is still used today. The original John Crabbie company went into liquidation in 1848. In 2007, the brand was aquired by the present owners, Halewood International who re-lunched the drink brand in 2009.
