Five Kingdoms Brewery
Microbrewery in Isle of Whithorn, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland 🏴
Established in 2015
It came about through a mutual passion for beer of publican Alastair Scoular who owns and runs The Steam Packet Inn, the village’s only pub and his head chef Brendon Dennett. Brendon, who had previously worked at renowned Scottish brewery 6 Degrees North in Stonehaven brought this wealth of brewing knowledge to the partnership. With the location, premises and experience of the pub trade and a pure passion for real ale, Alastair and Brendon were the perfect balance for a successful venture to create honest, fine ales.

On cask at Wigtown Ploughman in Wigtown - Hazy pale yellow, thin white head. Flowery grassiness in this one, some pale malts and citrus hops make it easy drinking.
