Located on the Black Isle peninsula in the Scottish Highlands, Black Isle Brewery is known not only as a producer of exceptional beers but also as a champion of organic farming methods and sustainable business practices. For over a quarter of a century, our mission has extended beyond brewing to creating space for nature and building meaningful links with our local community while we do it.

This summer, Black Isle Brewery's production garden boasted a remarkable yield of 6,000 bulbs of garlic, underlining our commitment to sustainable, local produce and reducing environmental impact. Customers have savored fresh garden ingredients in their dishes, while our Brewery shop introduced biodiversity-supporting flowers for sale. In brewing developments, our Wheat beer is being aged in wine barrels post-secondary fermentation with champagne yeast, and a unique Weizen beer, marking our 25th anniversary, is now available in 440ml cans, with a reserved batch maturing in Douro red wine barrels.

We’re thrilled to announce that Black Isle has become a Certified B Corporation, joining a community of over 6200 businesses around the world dedicated to creating a more sustainable and inclusive economy.

We’re delighted to introduce our new partnership with Finn Crockett; local lad, long-time Black Isle fan and as of last year, a Commonwealth Games medal winner in road cycling at the tender age of 23.

Two groups of students come to work in the brewery garden over a 12-week period. They work closely with Alexander, our Head Gardener and a trained horticultural therapist, learning how to grow, maintain and harvest vegetables.
