J.W. Gray & Co carries an extensive range of beers, ales and stouts ranging from the historically popular McEwan’s Export to the more discerning range of speciality beers.

McEwan’s Export (Available in Draught & packaged formats)

“ McEwan's Export (4.5% abv) is a strong, caramelised dark beer originally made for export. It remains one of the most popular canned or bottled beers in Scotland. It is famous for its various logos "To copy is forgery", "Quality and Strength" and "only ever made in Edinburgh, Scotland".

Belhaven Best Available in Draught and packaged formats)

“The pint of pints, the main man of draught ales, the quintessential quaffable beer... honey-coloured Belhaven Best is beyond compare. At 3.2% strength, Best is the ideal session beer. Its smooth, beautifully balanced taste and body will refresh and reassure any drinker on any occasion. Whether you're out for a quick one or celebrating a lottery win, Best lives up to its name.”

Hoegaarden

“Hoegaarden is the authentic Belgian wheat or white beer. It has a unique and extremely complex brewing process whereby the brand is first top fermented and then is refermented within the bottle - ending up in a unique cloudy-white appearance. The brand's unique appearance is mirrored by its one-of-a-kind taste - sweet and sour beer with a little bitterness, slightly spicy, with a strong touch of coriander and a hint of orange, perfect for warm summer days, instead of other refreshing beverages. Refreshing, a little quirky, and decidedly different - naturally.”

Leffe

“A nice golden coluorerd product with a medium sized creamy white head. Aroma is nice and spicy, some clove and floral hops. Flavor is yeasty, with a hint of banana, some wheaty malt, a bit of hops and spice tingled by sweetness kind of like honey, malty clove finish, creamy mouthfeel, and medium to high carbonation, very drinkable. All in all an excellent beer from Belgium”
