After what it claims is a long period operating under capacity, Heineken UK has announced a proposal to close the Caledonian Brewery in Edinburgh.
This comes with an agreement in principle with Greene King to continue brewing Caledonian’s brands, including Deuchars and Maltsmiths, at its Belhaven brewery in Dunbar.
A statement explained that the focus over the coming weeks will be to consult on the proposals with the 30 colleagues who work at the brewery and their trade union representatives. Caledonian Brewery will continue to operate during the consultation process.
