Broughton Brewery Old Jock Scotch Ale

Old Jock Scotch Ale is a flagship product from Broughton Brewery, a pioneer in the Scottish craft beer scene based in the village of Broughton in the Scottish Borders. Originally established in 1979 by James McClymont and David Younger, the brewery is famously located on a site that once served as a brewing operational hub for local monks. The Old Jock Ale itself is a multi-award-winning strong Scotch ale, known for its rich malt profile and 6.7% ABV, named after the 'Old Jocks' of the Highland regiments.

Today, Broughton Brewery remains an independent entity, having been acquired by a management team led by David McGowan and Steve Ross in 2015. Unlike many historic Scottish breweries that have been absorbed by global conglomerates, Broughton maintains its local identity and continues to brew its entire range on-site in Scotland. The brand is celebrated for its commitment to traditional brewing methods while expanding its reach into international markets, particularly North America and Europe.
