About Isle of Skye Brewery

The Isle of Skye Brewing Company (Leann an Eilein) was established in April 1995. Production began in December 1995 in purpose-built premises at Uig, the ferry terminal for the Outer Hebrides. In April 1998 the brewery expanded into bottling at Uig.

Skye ales are made from only premium quality grains and hops; only natural ingredients are used. The attention to detail given in making the beers has been recognised in several awards at beer festivals throughout the UK.

There are now 10 real ale outlets on Skye and England is also served through wholesalers . A shop (seasonal) has been established at the brewery. Souvenirs are also provided on a mail order service. Tours are available, preferably by prior arrangement.
