Since we started pushing the boundaries of craft beer brewing back in 1988, Williams Bros Brewing have grown to become one of the best known Scottish lager and beer brewers around.
We started with the legendary Fraoch Heather Ale and over the years have added many craft beers to our range.
Now it is time to introduce Ceilidh, a premium Scottish lager that is a celebration of brewing..
What’s in a Name?
Pronounced "Kay-Lee," the word refers to a traditional social gathering with music and dancing.
It’s a fitting title for this Scottish lager, which represents a "gathering" of the world’s finest ingredients.
We’ve blended locally grown Scottish barley and soft Scottish water with German hops - Hallertau for a nod to tradition and Tango for a contemporary citrus twist.
The Craft Behind the Crispness
What sets Ceilidh apart from your "run-of-the-mill" lager is the patience involved in its production. This isn't a rushed, mass-produced pint. It is:
-
Slow-fermented with Swiss precision.
-
Cold-conditioned for an extended period to ensure maximum smoothness and clarity.
-
Gluten-Free, making it an inclusive choice for every guest at your own gathering.
-
Authentic, it’s truly independent, born & brewed in Scotland it has only ever been brewed right here in the heart of Scotland.
The Tasting Notes
Pouring a beautiful pale gold, Ceilidh offers an inviting aroma of light florals and citrus. On the palate, it hits that sweet spot of being crisp and refreshing, yet satisfyingly bready.
We’ve made sure this Scottish lager has just the right amount of "hop-kissed" freshness to keep things interesting without overpowering the clean finish.
At 4.7% ABV, it is a premium Scottish Helles-style lager that delivers genuine provenance and quality.
Whether you’re pairing it with a summer BBQ or enjoying a quiet evening at home, Ceilidh is a testament to why Williams Bros remain the godfathers of the Scottish craft brewing scene.
