SUMMER OF AWARDS FOR ORKNEY BREWERY

The Orkney Brewery is celebrating a summer of success, with two of its beers winning top national awards.

The brewery’s newest release, Orkney Gold – a 4.5 per cent craft keg ale – secured silver in the Premium Lager and Pilsner category at the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) North Region competition in Nottingham.

And earlier in the month, Orkney Brewery’s legendary 8.5 per cent Skull Splitter ale was named Champion Barley Wine/Strong Old Ale of Scotland 2015 at the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) Champion Beer of Britain heats in Edinburgh.
