Cairngorm Brewery is a brewery based in Aviemore in the Highlands of Scotland.^[1] It is situated on the Dalfaber industrial estate at the north end of the village and is within the Cairngorms National Park.

Cairngorm Brewery was formed from the merger of Aviemore Brewery with Tomintoul Brewery. Tomintoul Brewery began brewing in 1993 and was based in an 18th-century watermill near the village of Tomintoul. It was taken over by Aviemore Brewery in 2000, which became Cairngorm Brewery the following year.^[2]

Cairngorm Brewery has supported the Highland Tiger Project, which is working to save the Scottish Wildcat. For each bottle of Wildcat beer sold, the brewery makes a donation to the project.^[3]

• Ginger Rodent – launched in November 2012 with Danny Alexander, at the time the local MP and Chief Secretary to the Treasury. The name derives from a comment by Labour politician Harriet Harman, who referred to Alexander as a “ginger rodent”.^[4]
