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.<\/p>\n

Beer has a long history at Traquair. At the end of the Middle Ages, many estates had a house brewery and Traquair was no exception: after Mary Queen of Scots visited Traquair in 1566, she wrote that she had excellent ale brewed there. (With her was her infant son James VI – later King James I of England – and the crib he slept in can still be viewed at Traquair.)<\/p>\n
