Free beer of yesteryear

As mentioned in the last edition of Brewhouse News, the seasonal beer range of The Inveralmond Brewery had undergone a major overhaul. This overhaul included redesigns for old favourites, new beers, and the restitution of beers that we have brewed in the past. Pundie is one of the latter and we are please to say the beer will be available in October this year.


Pundie is a measure of beer that used to be given free to brewery workers on certain days of the year. Traditionally a strong beer, the name gave rise to the colloquial term for a brewery: a pundie-house. This term is turn was mashed into the word booze!

Ken Duncan, our Head Brewer, describes the beer as ‘a great burnished copper strong ale. The malty palate is finely balanced with Saaz hops to give a full flavoured yet refreshing beer’. We also like to say that Pundie is Scots for a guid strong ale. We all hope you will agree. The beer will be available in 9g and 18g cask, and 30l keg. A very limited number of 4.5g casks will also be made available on a first come first served basis. Once they are gone, they’re gone.
