Anstruther is home to The Scottish Fisheries Museum. Situated in a wonderful collection of historic buildings on the harbour they are a charitable trust which has become a national institution with an international reputation. We can wholeheartedly agree that their tag line 'It's bigger than you think' is indeed accurate. They have a wealth of historical fishing memorabilia, boats and exhibits on show and are well worth a visit!
2019 is their Golden Anniversary and they asked us if we could join forces to produce a 'quaffable' beer to celebrate their 50th year. We duly obliged and produced St Ayles Ale.
The name comes from the 15th century chapel to St Ayles which was once built on the same ground as the museum. It then went on to become a cooperage and malt steading so there is a very good historical connection with brewing.

Our ale has complicated malt and hop additions but scaled back to give a very balanced, refreshing and enjoyable pint.
