Additional Information
The Harviestoun Brewery was founded on October 5th 1983, in the shed of founder Ken Brooker. In 1986 a brewery is set up in a 200 year old farm in the beautiful Dollar glen. In 2004 a new 60 barrel brew house was built from scratch just a few miles down the road. Two years later the brewery was sold to Caledonian Breweries, in 2008 Caledonian Breweries keep Harviestoun out of a deal and accepts an offer from Scottish and Newcastle, that returns the Harviestoun brewery back to an independent brewer.

Over the years the brand identity is updated and re-launched with subtle changes, a change of Logo or a new font.
Sometimes this brand update is done by the new owners after a brewery has been sold, other times just to give the brand a fresh new look on the ever growing market.
Below are some notes to help identify some of these changes and an aid to reference the year of the glass.
