The Kelburn Brewing Company was initiated in October 2001 and started brewing in April 2002 at Barrhead, near Glasgow. The brewery is a family run business operated by Derek Moore, his partner Margaret, son Ross and daughter Karen. A science graduate of Paisley University and an avid real ale enthusiast and homebrewer, Derek eventually helped to form the Houston Brewery at which he and son Ross brewed for a time. Ross is currently handling brewing having learned from his father. Ian Forbes serves as the brewery's dreyman.

Kelburn has a ten barrel brew plant utilizing a standard single step infusion brewing process and cold conditioned prior to packaging. The base malt for the majority of ales is U.K. Maris Otter 2-row pale malt and whole hops are used for bittering and aroma. Kelburn ales are generally available as guest cask ales in many outlets across the U.K. Currently Cart Blanche is bottled under contract.
