Five Kingdoms Brewery

About Five Kingdoms Brewery

Five Kingdoms microbrewery began in 2015 and sits in the beautiful harbourside village of The Isle of Whithorn in Dumfries and Galloway. The small fishing village is nestled on the tip of the Machars peninsula, close to the stunning Galloway Forest hills and is Scotland’s most southerly brewery. Five Kingdoms, so called because England, Ireland, The Isle of Man, Wales and Scotland can all be visible on a clear day from the Isle.
Five Kingdoms came about through a mutual passion for beer of publican Alastair Scoular who owns and runs The Steam Packet Inn, the village’s only pub and his head chef Brendon Dennett. Brendon, who had previously worked at renowned Scottish brewery 6 Degrees North in Stonehaven brought this wealth of brewing knowledge to the partnership. With the location, premises and experience of the pub trade and a pure passion for real ale, Alastair and Brendon were the perfect balance for a successful venture to create honest, fine ales.
The brew recipes are kept simple and clean with good honest ingredients. But it is not only the taste of the beers that interest people, each brew is individual and often dedicated to a character in the village or a life experience.
Following the huge success of the cask ales, the brewery now has moved into bottling. We now have eight different core beers available in bottle. Beers can be bought direct from our brewery tap the Steam Packet Hotel in Isle of Whithorn. We also have our own on line web shop on our web site and can deliver beers by courier throughout the UK. This year we also run tours of the brewery including a tasting.
