a 30% share in this business, CBC operates on an independent basis. In January 2006, the Caledonian Brewing Company purchased the Harviestoun Brewery based in Alva, makers of Bitter and Twisted. In 2008, S&N bought the remaining shares in CBC to take full control of the company. The brands remain unaffected and brewing will continue at the site. Harviestoun was not part of the takeover and was retained by Caledonian's shareholders to run as a separate concern. With the takeover of S&N, Heineken now control the Caledonian Brewery Company. Heineken era In 2008, Heineken acquired the UK assets of Scottish and Newcastle which included the Caledonian Brewery. In May 2022, Heineken announced the proposed closure of the Caledonian Brewery with an agreement in principle for Belhaven Brewery to brew its Scottish brands. In October, JLL was appointed to market the site. It advised the complex had potential for redevelopment into flats, a hotel, or student accommodation.
