Description
Founded in 2012, we are the UK’s most northerly and remote brewery, based on the island of Shetland.

We are as much Scottish as we are Nordic which gives us our unique outlook on life, and it is reflected in the beers we brew.

We believe beer shouldn’t have boundaries. From lagers, to IPAs to oatmeal stouts, we have something for everyone. We brew beers that we love to drink, and we hope you enjoy them too!

440ml can from Lerwick Brewery shop - clear chestnut body with a pretty looking white head. Caramel malts, robustness to the nutty and fruity flavours, a splendid example of a standard bitter.

Can shared by explosivedog: pours black with a beige head. Aroma is dark chocolate and roasted malt. A little chewy. Somewhat sweet. middle of the road solid stout. It is crazy to me that I almost forgot to enter this beer rating in. Almost missed this!
