Collection: Closet Brewing Edinburgh

Closet Brewing proves that small breweries can have a big personality. Founded by Lucy and Lizzie Stevens, the Edinburgh brewery has built a loyal following through vegan beers, a fiercely independent approach and a genuine commitment to creating a welcoming space for everyone who enjoys a good beer.

Closet Brewing is one of the most distinctive newer breweries in Edinburgh’s independent beer scene, combining modern craft beer with a strong focus on vegan brewing, queer community and highly creative small-batch releases. Founded and run by two queer women in Edinburgh, the nano-brewery has quickly built a loyal following through approachable, flavour-driven beer and an identity that feels deeply connected to local independent culture.

The brewery produces a wide range of modern beer styles including hazy pale ale, IPA, sour beer, gose, lager, grisette and imperial stout, often incorporating playful concepts, striking artwork and experimental flavour combinations. Rather than focusing narrowly on one style, Closet Brewing approaches beer with an emphasis on fun, creativity and accessibility while maintaining strong technical brewing quality and freshness.

Vegan brewing sits at the centre of the brewery’s identity, with every beer produced entirely without animal-derived fining agents or adjuncts. Alongside this, Closet Brewing has become especially associated with inclusive beer culture and independent local collaboration, positioning itself as part of a newer generation of breweries reshaping what modern craft beer spaces can look like.

Despite operating on a very small scale, the brewery’s releases have gained attention well beyond Edinburgh through specialist bottle shops, festivals and collaborations. Beers regularly showcase expressive hop character, fruit-forward souring, playful recipe design and highly distinctive branding inspired by queer culture, gaming, fantasy and underground art.

Our Closet Brewing collection focuses on fresh vegan craft beer across pale ale, IPA, sour beer, lager and experimental seasonal releases. Expect tropical fruit, citrus, soft acidity, modern hop character and highly drinkable beer brewed with creativity, independence and community spirit at the centre.
