The Scottish Brewers Support Fund 2022 will provide financial support to eligible breweries directly affected by the public health advice and guidance introduced from 9 December 2021 to 24 January 2022 to control the coronavirus Omicron variant.

The grant is a one-off payment at the rate of:

• £5,625 for businesses with a rateable value up to and including £18,000
• £8,700 for businesses with a rateable value between £18,001 and £51,000
• £29,500 for businesses with a rateable value over £51,000 or whose annual beer production exceeds 5,000HL

Businesses do not need to apply – local authorities will contact businesses directly.

Breweries which previously received funding from the Brewers Support Fund Phase 1 (part of the Contingency Fund Plus) and any new brewery businesses which meet the eligibility criteria are entitled to this one-off grant payment.

Full details of eligibility and guidance are available on the Scottish Government website.
