Description
Orkney Brewery was founded in March 1988 by Roger White at the old schoolhouse in Quoyloo, Orkney. In June 2004, the Orkney Brewery was acquired from its retiring founder by the shareholders of Atlas Brewery (founded in 2002 by Neill Cotton ) to form Highlands and Islands Breweries. Highland & Islands was taken over by Sinclair Breweries in 2006.
