Hadrian brewery was founded in 1997. The original owner left to form Four Rivers brewery in 1996. Following the liquidation of Hadrian in 1997, Four Rivers bought the equipment and moved back to the original site. A merger with Border brewery in 2000 led to the formation of Hadrian & Border. In 2011 the brewery moved out of Hawick Crescent to Shelley Road due to increase of output.
