This brewery is located in the village of Uig on the northern coast of the Isle of Skye, opposite the ferry terminal that takes passengers to the islands of the Outer Hebrides. The brewery’s retail shop (open Easter through mid-October) offers logo items and other Scottish souvenirs, and bottles of the brewery’s line of beers (some refrigerated and ready to enjoy immediately). Several of the Isle of Skye beers are available on cask at the bar across the road from the brewery and at the Uig Hotel. I also found cask Isle of Skye ales in pubs throughout Scotland (Prince of Wales in Aberdeen, Castle Tavern in Inverness, and Applecross Inn in Applecross are notable examples). Actual brewery tours seem to require making previous arrangements. During my Scotland visit, I had the opportunity to sample a number of Isle of Skye ales. Red Cuillin (a malty red ale) and Black Cuillin (a rich and roasty dark ale) are each named for different portions of the famous Cuillin mountains of Skye. Hebridean Gold is a smooth blonde ale brewed with the inclusion of porridge oats. Young Pretender is a dry, hoppy golden ale. I also had a house ale brewed by this brewery at The Isles pub in Portree. Isle of Skye beers are worth seeking out, as is the brewery when visiting the island.
