A Scottish craft brewer has announced plans to build a new brewery in Edinburgh, creating up to 30 jobs.

Innis & Gunn, who currently brew beer in Glasgow and Perth, is hoping this will support its aim of achieving a turnover of £40m by 2021.

Its core range of craft lager, IPAs and barrel-aged beers will be produced at the new brewery, which would have the capacity of 400,000 hectolitres - the equivalent of over 70 million pints of beer.

The location of the site has not been revealed and will be subject to the outcome of planning applications.

Dougal Gunn Sharp, founder and master brewer at Innis & Gunn, told shareholders of the plans at the company's AGM in Glasgow on Thursday evening.

He said: "Building a new brewery will cement our Edinburgh heritage as well as creating a focal point for our beers in the capital.

"It provides the brewing, packaging and warehousing capacity we need as we continue to strive to meet the surging demand for our lager.

"For me, putting the brewery in Edinburgh, where we first brewed Innis & Gunn, feels like we have come home as a business."
