James Deuchar was born in Guthrie, Scotland, in 1849 and moved to the north east of England as a young man. He began as a publican in Gateshead and over the coming decades purchased breweries and maltings across the north of England. The growth in popularity of Scottish pale ale led Deuchar to purchase Lochside brewery (later to become Lochside distillery) in 1900. By the time of his death in 1927, Deuchar had a portfolio of 150 public house supplied by his own breweries. The firm was taken over by Newcastle Breweries Ltd. in 1956.
