History
Brewing commenced in March 1988 at the old schoolhouse in Sandwick. A 10BBL plant was initially used but this was replaced with a 25BBL plant when the brewery was modernised in 1995. Merged with Atlas Brewery in June 2004 to become part of Highland & Islands Breweries Ltd, although brewing for the two breweries remains separated. Following the failure of Highlands & Islands, the company was brought by Sinclair Breweries Ltd. Moved to purpose-built premises at the same location in 2010.
Beers Brewed
We do not maintain a list of beers brewed by each brewery. There may be a list on the brewery's own website. A crowd-sourced beer list is also available on the Untappd page for this brewery. For historical information, we suggest you also visit the brewery page on the unfortunately no longer updated Beermad.

Since the 1974 local government reorganisation there has been much controversy over many county boundaries. The links we provide cover all areas possibilities: Ceremonial Counties which are the counties for which a Lord-Lieutenant has been appointed, Historic Counties (and their allied county boroughs) which represent the position before the 1974 re-organisation and Local Authority which represents the third tear District level.
