SKIPPER’S TICKET – TRADITIONAL PALE – 4% ABV

advancement in such a world, so it’s no wonder

Originally brewed to coincide with the All Blacks visit to Scotland in November 2017, Blindside proved so popular we’ve had to make it a permanent fixture in our line-up! This beautifully balanced Black IPA has a strong, powerful body of sweet, toasted malts, and packs down with tropical fruit flavours from the NZ hops of Waimea, Rakau and Wakatu. Designed to tackle the tastebuds, Blindside really is a scrum-ptious beer that you will want to pick every time!


Food pairing: Best enjoyed with comfort food like Meat pies and casseroles.

The Up Helly Aa season sparks Shetland into life from
January to March. Hundreds of guizers bearing flaming
torches, led by a Viking Jarl, evoke powerful images of
our Norse past. Vaelensi – meaning violent, stormy
weather, as is common throughout a Shetland winter –
has been brewed with rich, chocolate malt giving a
deep amber colour to this seasonal brew. Floral and
herbaceous hops lay the base for fiery chilli and ginger
to cut through like the most ferocious Viking warrior.
Sweet honey helps to shield from the heat, creating a
warming winter beer you’ll axe for again and again! Read Less

Everyone else has jumped on the haze train so we
thought we better had to! It’s juicy, sweet and soft as a
cloud. This number mixes malted barley, flaked oats
and wheat with Olicana, Simcoe and Azacca hops. A
smooth, pillowy concoction with tropical fruits aplenty
– it may be our most drinkable beer to date! Read Less

St Ninian’s Earl Grey and Orange IPA is created with a beguiling combination of Pale and Cara Ruby malts to give a sweet caramel base, as well as giving a warm reddish amber colour to the beer.

Marynka provides a pleasant bitter balance to the zingy citrus and tropical fruit aroma of Citra, whilst not taking away from the real stars of the show.

Bright orange zest and peel intermingles with wonderfully fragrant bergamot from the Earl Grey tea. These fantastic flavours and aromas give a real taste of summer – think along the lines of iced tea with a kick, provided by the mild but respectable 4% ABV.

We think this beer is perfect for a summer’s day, whether you’re on the beach or just wish that you were! Read Less

After 3 long years of waiting… Up Helly Aa 2023 is finally
upon us! This year's Jarl, Neil Moncrieff, tasked Lerwick
Brewery with creating a beer inspired by one of his
favourite Hazy IPAs. So, that’s exactly what we set out
to do! A mass of oats and wheat for a smooth and
hearty body makes way for a procession of tropical
fruits and peppery pine from Cascade, Citra, Simcoe and
Mosaic hops. Juicy, smooth and easy-drinking; it’s sure
to keep you warm on the night! Read Less

Voar (Spring) in Shetland celebrates leaving behind he dark nights of winter and Jorum is a dry-hopped session pale ale best enjoyed on one of our brighter and milder evenings. Brewed with a hearty mix of barley and oats for a smooth character and UK Jester hops for fresh, bright, citrusy aroma and flavour. Jorum is a Shetland word for entertainment: a fitting nod towards the "Jester" and also suggestive of Shetland's jovial nature and affinity for good times. Read Less
