Caledonian

Caledonian is a beer brand presented in Greene King’s beer portfolio. Greene King describes itself as the country’s leading pub retailer and brewer and says it operates pubs, restaurants and hotels across the UK. The supplied material identifies Greene King as the company behind the Caledonian beer portfolio, but does not establish when the brand or brewery was founded, its original ownership, or its headquarters. The portfolio material features Deuchars IPA, described as an award-winning cask beer, and Coast to coast, an American-style pale ale. Greene King presents Deuchars as a refreshing, aromatic beer with citrus and floral notes, and Coast to coast as a hop-forward, balanced ale with fruit and citrus character. The supplied source gives a 3.8% ABV for Deuchars. It does not provide a complete catalogue, distribution details, or information about the brand’s current production arrangements.

The supplied sources establish Caledonian as a beer brand featured in Greene King’s current online beer portfolio. They do not document the brand’s founding, early brewery history, founders, original location, or ownership changes, so those historical details cannot be stated reliably here. Greene King’s portfolio page presents Deuchars IPA as a signature Caledonian beer. It describes Deuchars as an award-winning cask beer and cites recognition that includes CAMRA Supreme Champion Beer of Britain and World Champion Cask Ale. The page also gives its alcohol by volume as 3.8% and describes its colour, aroma and flavour. These details provide evidence of the brand’s cask-ale association, but the supplied excerpt does not give dates for the awards or the beer’s launch. The portfolio also features Coast to coast, presented as a pioneering American-style pale ale. Its description refers to six Yakima Valley hops and East Coast Maritime malt, naming Centennial, Columbus, Simcoe and Cascade among its hops. The available excerpt does not establish when it launched or how its formulation or availability may have changed. Greene King’s company information describes it as a pub retailer and brewer with pubs, restaurants and hotels across the United Kingdom. Together, these sources show Caledonian being presented within Greene King’s UK beer portfolio. The material does not provide enough evidence to write a fuller dated account of the brand’s development, transactions, leadership, or current brewing arrangements.
