Moulin Brewery
The Moulin Brewery is a charming, traditional micro-brewery attached to a historic 17th-century inn. It is located in the village of Moulin, just above Pitlochry, and uses the postcode PH16 5EW.
What to Expect and Enjoy
This is one of the first and most famous micro-breweries in Scotland. It’s located in a converted stable block right behind the Moulin Hotel. You can peek into the brewhouse to see the small-scale traditional equipment used to make popular local ales like “Ale of Atholl” and “Old Remedial.” The best part is heading into the centuries-old Moulin Inn next door, which has roaring log fires and original stone walls, to try a pint of the beer made just feet away. It’s a very cosy, chatty, and authentic experience that feels like a real “hidden gem.”
