Black Isle Brewery Beers

Introduction

This evening, I am focusing on the Black Isle Organic Brewery in the Scottish Highlands. This is a small, independent beer producer with a commitment to organic products. 

Information on the Black Isle Brewery

The brewery is situated near Munlochy on the Black Isle. However, the term ‘Isle’ is a misnomer as it is a peninsula, not an island, situated just north of Inverness on the east of Scotland. To the north is the Cromarty Firth whilst to the south is the Beauly Firth and Moray Firth. (Firth is a Scottish word for bay or estuary.) Black Isle Beer has links with the whisky industry in that:

• There is a similarity with the whisky making process,This because whisky makers first manufacture a weak beer before proceeding to distillation.
• Some Black Isle beers are matured in ex-whisky and sherry casks.

Black Isle Brewery welcomes visitor groups who are provided with a tour of the brewery and brewing process. Various beer products can be purchased on the premises or by mail order.

The range of beers includes: Rhode Runner, Scotch Ale, Halo Lager and Organic Pale Ale.

In addition to the actual brewery site, the company provides accommodation for rent in the Highlands, This comprises rooms in Inverness, Fort William and the Black Isle.
