A FASCINATING PAST
Rose Street Brewery is situated on Rose Street and stands in Edinburgh’s New Town, which was built when a competition was held back in 1766. The challenge went out to architects; “Let us boldly enlarge Edinburgh to the utmost.” It was won by a 23-year-old named James Craig.
The area has a long and interesting history. Thistle Street and Rose Street were built originally for the artisans of the New Town, although in an inferior style and of rougher workmanship than the main streets. But by the mid 1800s, Rose Street had established itself as a drinking oasis and this reputation is proudly upheld today.
ONE OF A KIND
Rose Street Brewery at 55 Rose Street was founded in August 1983 in the former White Cockade public house by the Alloa Brewery Co. Ltd. The first floor, which was once home to the brewery that produced the renowned Auld reekie Ale, now houses the Brewhouse Restaurant. The brewing industry certainly contributed to Edinburgh’s earned moniker of “Auld Reekie” so named due to all the smoke produced by coal and wood burning furnaces and boilers. Auld Reekie is a traditional nickname for Edinburgh, the word reek meaning smoke.
