HAS BEEN CREATED IN RECOGNITION OF THE EFFORTS OF SEAFARERS, CROFTERS AND THE LOCAL COMMUNITY OF LOCH EWE DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR AS THE BASE FOR THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC CONVOYS THAT PROVIDED VITAL MARITIME LINKS DURING THE WAR EFFORT.

Hopped with Sovereign, East Kent Goldings and Ernest.

A hop forward IPA based on the original India Pale Ales. This is crisp, refreshing with a gentle slight mango flavour upfront with a hint of grapefruit to follow. This IPA is a traditional UK style IPA that is balanced and although generously hopped is restrained enough to detect malt subtleties and delicate green hop aroma. We keep the ABV restrained to 5% also.

HURRICANE BEST BITTER IS OUR COMMEMORATION OF LOCH EWE'S RELATIONSHIP WITH THE HAWKER HURRICANE AIRCRAFT. THE ARCTIC CONVOYS SOMETIMES INCLUDED CATAPULT AIRCRAFT MERCHANT SHIPS (CAMS). THESE HAD A RAMP OVER THE BOW ON WHICH A HURRICANE WAS MOUNTED AND LAUNCHED BY A ROCKET-PROPELLED CATAPULT TO INTERCEPT ENEMY AIRCRAFT. A ONE-WAY TICKET FOR THE PILOT AS THERE WAS NO MEANS OF LANDING: HE WOULD HAVE TO BAIL OR DITCH IN THE ARCTIC SEA AND AWAIT RECOVERY BY THE CONVOY VESSELS.

Hopped with Columbus, Endeavour and Goldings.

Slight sweet malt and caramel upfront with light coffee tones which slowly dissapate to be replaced by a lingering hop bitterness. Light bodied with superb dark amber hue and a soft smooth mouthfeel.

IS A REFRESHING GOLDEN SUMMER ALE. IT HAS BEEN INSPIRED BY THE LONG SUMMER DAYS OF WESTER ROSS AND LONGA ISLAND SITUATED OFF THE BEAUTIFUL TOWN OF GAIRLOCH.

A light and flavoured summer ale. Slightly sweet, floral and malty. Golden.

RUBHA REIDH HAZY IPA IS A SMOOTH AND HIGHLY HOPPED BEER. BRINGING OUT PINEAPPLE, MANGO AND CUSTARD FLAVOURS WITH A SLIGHTLY CITRUS FINISH.

ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC IMAGES OF WESTER ROSS IS THE 1908 STEVENSON BUILT LIGHTHOUSE ON THE WESTERN ENTRANCE TO LOCH EWE. THIS LIGHT HAS GUIDED DECADES OF MARINERS TO SAFETY IN THE HAZARDOUS WATER OF THE MINCH. IT IS A GREAT PLACE TO VISIT AND STAY IF TRAVELLING THE AREA, WITH OUTSTANDING VIEWS, ISOLATION AND INCREDIBLE WILDLIFE.

Late and Dry Hopped with Centennial, Amarillo and Ernest.

Packed with malted oats and wheat to give the hazy appearance yet maintains the light and refreshing character of our beers.

Pineapple and Mango and Fruit Salad Sweets leap out of this very session-able take on a contemporary NEIPA. ABV eased back to 5% to ensure you can enjoy a couple.

Hopped with Columbus, Cluster and Endeavour.

An exceptionaly malty and fruity drink with an impressive grain bill that delivers complexity.

LONGA NIGHTS PORTER IS A COMPLEX ALE. IT HAS BEEN INSPIRED TO WARM THE LONG WINTER NIGHTS OF WESTER ROSS AND LONGA ISLAND SITUATED OFF THE BEAUTIFUL TOWN OF GAIRLOCH. THE DRINK IS DESIGNED AS A WINTER COMFORTING ALE FULL OF MALTY, CHOCLATEY NOTES AND A SMOOTH FINISH. IT IS SAID THE NAME LONGA ISLAND IS DERIVED FROM THE WORD FOR LONG-SHIP. IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE NORSE MEN USED THE ISLAND FOR MOORING AND STORING THEIR LONGBOATS.

Hopped with Cluster, Columbus and Endevour

Smooth, chocolate, coffee and a very well balanced porter. Very easy drinking yet with deep, robust flavours from the roasted barley and chocolate malts. The addition of Torrified Wheat in the mash really helps with the luxurious mouthfeel without compromising on the light character.

LIBERATOR ABBEY STYLE ALE IS A TRAPPIST INFLUENCED REAL ALE DEVELOPED IN MEMORY OF THE CREW AND PASSENGERS OF A USAAF B-24H LIBERATOR BOMBER, SERIAL NO. 42-95095, WHICH BECAME LOST WHILE RETURNING TO THE USA ON JUNE 13TH, 1945, AND CRASHED AT THE FAIRY LOCHS NEAR BADACHRO WITH THE LOSS OF ALL SOULS ONBOARD. THE REMAINS OF THE AIRCRAFT CAN BE SEEN TODAY AT THE CRASH SITE INCLUDING PARTS OF THE FUSELAGE, ENGINES AND THE REMAINS OF A PROPELLER PROTRUDING FROM THE LOCH. LEST WE FORGET.

Single and delicatley Hopped with Goldings.

The yeast strain used originates from a Trappist Abbey. The slow fermentation and ester production really dominates this beer and it is expected to age very well if cellared carefully.

The beer is smooth and easy drinking, pear drops, clove, vanilla and a burned toffee note. Drinks well from a wine glass.

GILLIE DUBH BARLEY WINE IS A SWEET, TREACLE TOFFEE TIPPLE TO BE SERVED FROM A SMALL WINE OR SHERRY GLASS. THIS FESTIVE TREAT CELEBRATES THE MAGIC AND MYSTERY AROUND THE FESTIVE SEASON IN GAIRLOCH AND WESTER ROSS. THE AREA IS RICH IN BOTH HISTORY AND FOLKLORE AND MAYBE, WHILST SIPPING THIS TIPPLE BY A LOG FIRE DURING THE LONG WINTER NIGHTS, A FEW TALES FROM THE AREA CAN BE REVISITED BY THOSE IN YOUR COMPANY. CELLERED WELL, THIS DRINK SHOULD AGE FOR UP TO THREE YEARS.

Very lightly hopped with First Gold.

Deep complex sweet treacle toffee flavours from the caramelised malts used in the mash. This brew is limited to 300 bottles per year and aged for 5 months prior to release.

Just perfect as a desert drink with a sticky toffee pudding and custard. Very festive.

POOLEWE IS AN IMPORTANT HISTORIC VILLAGE SET ON THE RIVER EWE WHERE THE RIVER MEETS LOCH EWE. NOT ONLY CAN HISTORIC RELICS BE TRACED BACK TO THE PICTS, BUT IMPORTANT MODERN HISTORY ALSO EXISTS. FROM THE SUB TROPICAL GARDENS AT INVEREWE BUILT BY OSGOOD MACKENZIE IN THE 1800s TO THE SECOND WORLD WAR HERITAGE, INCLUDING AN ARMY OFFICER CADET TRAINING BASE RUN BY LORD ROWALLAN WHO LATER BECAME A SIGNIFICANT FIGURE IN THE SCOUT MOVEMENT.

Hopped with Mittlefruh and Tettnanger

Floral, Sweet (perhaps more towards a Helles style than a Pilsner in the true sense), Complex floral from the hops with delicious malty sweetness. Very easy drinking.
