## About

Burnside Brewery was established in 2010 as Laurencekirk’s local craft brewery. With the Mearns Hills to the west and rugged coastline to the east, we draw inspiration from the Scottish landscape when crafting our classic ales. Our logo pays homage to the surrounding countryside, signifying the natural, easy-drinking beers we create – each one hand brewed, bottled and packaged onsite by our team of three. The fern is an age-old symbol of sincerity, and so we hope it will stand as a symbol of a good, honest beer to you.
