The tiny Traquair House Brewery is known today for the excellent Traquair House Ale and Jacobite Ale produced there – despite a tiny production of less than 1000 barrels annually, the beers win accolades ranging from the late Michael Jackson – “a touch of oaky earthiness to balance its dark-malt nuttiness” – to five stars at BevX in 2010 to many medals in the World Beer Championships over the years. Traquair ales are made from spring water, Suffolk malt, and East Kent hops; Traquair is the only UK brewery to complete primary fermentation in oak vessels.
