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.

The beers you'll get :

2 * Starboard Porter (500ml bottle)

2 * Scapa Special (500ml bottle)

2 * Ola (440ml can)

2 * Low Roller (440ml can)
