SCAPA SPECIAL BOX

Our most popular beer, and for good reason!

Eleven Scapa Special 500ml bottles, plus a branded Scapa Special pint glass, boxed and ready to go.

The story (as written at the end of 2020):

Scapa Special was the first beer Rob brewed at Swannay and in normal times is the one we make the most of. Most pubs in Orkney have Scapa Special on hand pump and in the summer months some sell 100s of pints per week - to locals and visitors alike.

For the first time ever in our history, in 2020 we had to brew a half batch brew size of Scapa Special to balance up the reduced demand and our requirement for stock freshness.

The demand did not dry up completely and some Orkney pubs have managed to take a regular weekly delivery for most of the year. Some south pubs have helped us too but the total litres brewed of our flagship pale ale dropped to their lowest level for a long, long time.

Here are 11 bottles and brand new nucleated Scapa Special pint glass to drink it with.

Scapa Special

£2.95

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.

Where do we begin...

Low Roller (440ml can)

£3.30

Unfiltered, un-fined and un-pasteurised, may pour hazy. Store upright and pour gently. Drink fresh!

THE BEER

Low Roller is a Mosaic and Simcoe IPA, inspired by the oceans that surround our brewery. On days after a storm, we often watch the low waves rolling in from miles away, before they burst against the cliffs and release their energy.

The beer is our latest 440ml release; a 4.9% India Pale Ale with a clean malt profile uplifted by berry, mango and citrus aromas from the pairing of American hops.

Serve cold and drink fresh.
