Brewing Society

Established in 1985, we are passionate about growing our society and sharing our love for all things beer!

Jump Start

This society is part of the Jump Start Scheme.

Sometimes a society that has existed in previous years doesn't continue on into the new year for whatever reason, often because the people who run it graduate. This means that sometimes a society is ready to go, but missing a crucial part of what's needed to make it tick, that could be you! With our jump start a society programme, you can become a society leader and pick up where the society left off! If you're interested in adopting this society, please contact Christy for more information! Otherwise, if you'd be interested in joining the society, please sign up so we know which societies have the highest level of interest and where we can offer the most support!

Potential New Society Alert!

This is a brand new society - and we need members!.

This society is brand new, and in order to become an official society it needs a minimum of 10 members before it can start.

If you love the sound of this society and would absolutely join it if it was set up, then see the Join section below to show your interest!

Heriot-Watt Brewing Society is open to all.

Those who enjoy brewing, drinking great beer or those who just like a good chin wag. The society is a great place to meet new people, expand your own knowledge of this wonderful beverage, and get to know different areas in Edinburgh through the variety of pubs we hang out in.

If you are a beer enthusiast or complete beginner, and like pubs (especially ones with dugs) this is the society for you. 

Sign up is only £5, to get sent our new 2024/2025 membership cards with discounts at selected outlets and breweries.

If you are not a current Heriot-Watt student, please select the 'Associate Membership' option below.

This society is just setting up, and in order to do that we need a minimum number of initial members before we can start as a society.

If you're interested in being able to join this society, click to add the "Interested In" membership to your basket and complete the (free) checkout process to let us know.

If we get the required 10 members, we can start the society and you will become a full member!

We Need You!

This society doesn't have any leaders to run it for this year.

If you're interested in being part of the committee leading this society, then we'd love to hear from you and explain the process.

Just email Christy on C.O'Toole@hw.ac.uk and we'll be in touch!
