Description

Five Kingdoms microbrewery began in 2015 and sits in the beautiful harbourside village of The Isle of Whithorn in Dumfries and Galloway. The small fishing village is nestled on the tip of the Machars peninsula, close to the stunning Galloway Forest hills and is Scotland’s most southerly brewery. Five Kingdoms, so called because England, Ireland, The Isle of Man, Wales and Scotland can all be visible on a clear day from the Isle.

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.

3/5/2025. Bottle from Beer Without Borders. Pours clear bright bronze brown with a small frothy off-white head. Aroma is toffee, malty, biscuit, fruity, leafy, berries, raisins. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Moderate body, foamy carbonation. Nice but too carbonated.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Dark brown colour, some bubbles on top and aroma of smoke, peat, meaty. Taste is smoked, dark malty, peat, iodine, wood, oaky whisky barrel, with some earthy roast bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, smokey woody roasted bitter finish. Quite drinkable.
