The Craigie Brewery was established in 1865 in Lyon Street, Dundee, Scotland . Andrew Webster & Son operated the brewery until 1880 when it was taken over by John Webster , followed by William Halley Brown in 1885. They brewed a range of ales and stouts up until around 1920 when brewing ceased and bottling became the main activity.

Custody of the Scottish Brewing Archive was transferred to Glasgow University Archive Services in 2008.
