THE BEER

Our flagship beer - the one Rob brewed first and still the beer we brew the most. Scapa Special is a classic pale ale with wide appeal. Ever so balanced, the skill that Rob has so well honed, this beer has biscuity malt upfront and delicate but ascending hops in the middle and end.

The label depicts the voluntary scuttling of the interned German fleet in Scapa Flow, 1919. Once the anchorage of the British Home Fleet, today Scapa Flow is a world class diving destination. Three malts and five hops - from Britain, Germany and the US - make Scapa Special a classic pale ale.

THE BEER

Literally all our beer has been upon the waves, albeit only for an hour or so (on a calm day!) on the ferry from Orkney. India Pale Ales (IPAs) of old were heavily hopped to survive their journey to the colonies. This is Rob’s interpretation - believing the hops may have mellowed by arrival.

THE BEER

We brew our beer next to cliffs battered from the west by the Atlantic Ocean - the sea is a constant in Orkney’s way of life. This beer is a respectful Orcadian nod to the pale ales of America’s West Coast. Crystal malt gives the beer sweet body and US hops provide plenty of punchy, citrus flavours.

Merry Dancer (440ml can)

Merry Dancer (440ml can)

£3.00

Merry Dancer is a session pale ale at 3.8% ABV - a light beer for dark nights.

Named after the Aurora Borealis that here in Orkney we are lucky enough to catch a glimpse of in the clear winter night skies. In Orkney the northern lights are known as the 'Merry Dancers' and are another reason to enjoy this time of year, some solace from the short days.

We purposefully went for less bitterness but kept the lingering hoppiness at the end. A different from normal water profile also gives this beer a softer mouthfeel, we think!

Classic UK pale malt and fruity hops from New Zealand and North America provide the flavoursome balance.
