Formerly named HIGHLANDER BREW CO. Changed name in 2020. United Craft purchased the Highlander brands in April 2019, while the brewery owners retained the facility and continued production of the beers under contract. With the rebranding the facility as South River Brewing, United Craft decided to shift production to New Ontario. Highlander Brews will be relaunched in early 2021 with its two flagship beers, Scottish Ale and Smoked Porter, and other new beers at New Ontario Brewing. South River has announced that it will continue producing its own versions of the Scottish Ale and Smoked Porter, as well as other former Highlander brands, all under the new brewery name.
