Innis & Gunn is a beer brand based in Edinburgh, Scotland, founded in 2003 by Master Brewer Dougal Gunn Sharp.^[1]

Innis & Gunn is contract brewed in Glasgow at Tennent's Wellpark Brewery since 2014 ^[2] and exported to over 35 countries.^[3] It is the No.1 "craft" lager in Scotland, the No.1 imported "craft" beer in Canada and the No.3 in Sweden. In 2017, Innis & Gunn sold 2.5M cases of beer in over 35 countries. The Innis & Gunn Brewery in Perth is the brand's home for innovation and barrel-ageing.

The first Innis & Gunn Brewery Taproom opened in Edinburgh in summer 2015, winning the UK Casual Dining Concept Award in 2016. With a focus on craft beer and food pairings the Beer Kitchens have expanded to Dundee and Glasgow's Ashton Lane, the largest unit opened to date.

In late 2016, to help grow the company, Innis & Gunn raised £2.4M in a crowdfund, surpassing its target of £1M in 72 hours.

In 2017, Innis & Gunn signed a distribution deal in China for its flagship ale 'The Original'.^[4]

On 15 November 2018, Tennent's announced the brewing contract will be terminated with effect from September 2020. Innis & Gunn responded the following day by saying they plan on opening their own brewery.^[2]
