Welcome to Orkney Brewery

This fruity spiced winter ale exhibits all the warming characters of the famous Clootie Dumpling. A light tawny beer which has a soft rounded palate flavoured with seasonal spices.

Red MacGregor is a mighty beer indeed a celebration of one of Scotland's true historic heroes. It was one of the first beers in Scotland that expressively used the American hop Cascade for citrusy fruit flavour. It has a wonderfully complex aroma of fruity hop zest, spiciness and rich malts. This beer offers initial toasted caramel malt aromas and flavours then mouth-watering citrus hop fruits giving way to a clean, fruity, refreshing hop bitterness.

Dark Island is an iconic beer. A gold standard-bearer for crafted premium Scottish Ales. It almost needs no introduction. It offers ripe, fruity and roast coffee aromas with flavours of dark chocolate, dates and nuts, from the combination of roasted malts and robust hops.

Dark Island reserve is a rich strong Orcadian Ale. After a gentle fermentation at our brewery in Quoyloo, the beer is finished in old oak casks formerly used to mature fine scotch malt whisky. This unhurried process creates a timeless classic full of fruit, spice, oak and roast malt flavours.

Skull Splitter is one of our strongest beers, named after Thorfinn Einarsson the 7th Viking Earl of Orkney. It is a sophisticated, satiny smooth and full flavoured beer. It has a rich fruity wine-like complexity with flavours of fresh and dried fruits, warm exotic spice and mellow summer fruity notes.

The Cliffs of Yesnaby, one of Orkney's many landmarks, are just a few miles south of our brewery and the coastal walks are memorable, much like this beer. Cliff Edge is a brilliant bronze beer with a tantalising trio of American hops. Pushing you to the edge of your senses, with an intense impact of piney and spicy fruit flavours before dropping to a crash of bitter zestiness. BBD is end of August 2020 - reason for reduction in price
