I'm giving this a four star rating, but it's very much a back-and-forth between different concerns. First, it's cool that there's a local brewery on Skye and that's probably a full star bump. The beers themselves are just so-so although some of that is just because the local styles aren't exactly my jam. British pub ale (which is what most of their beers wind up being close to) is just not my jam. That said, they have a few better and more complex beers. The Cuillin Beast (scotch ale) and Black (stout, but not too heavy and closer to a less creamy Guinness) are both pretty decent. Nothing mind-blowing though. If you're a craft beer person, this is a "fun because it's local" more than "fun because they're really good" stop. There's a few bottles of stuff you can find in the shop (including a smoked beer, an ESB, and a lighter ale) that aren't available in the restaurants around Skye, but mostly it's the same beers which you can (impressively) find for sale in almost all the restaurants on Skye. The brewery shop itself is disappointing. It's basically a bottle shop with a bunch of merchandise near the pier in Uig. There's a small coffee shop, but you can't do tastings, there's no food. There's attempt to make a space to hang out and enjoy anything near the pier. Even a few picnic tables with a view of the harbor would be really nice. This all rounds out to a four star for me, but it really depends what you're looking for. read more

Nice little shop with nice staff, but there isn't a tasting room to try before you buy(I'm not sure what the UK's laws are regarding this.). So there is some risk on buying something you might not like, but all the bottles were reasonably price anyway. I paid a reasonable £3.30 for a 500ml bottle of tasty ale. read more

Nice staff, beer was cheaper than I expected, and tastes great. Recommend a visit if you like a beer

Nice beer. Shared a bottle I bought with our AirBnB hosts in Glasgow, and they liked it too!

Unfortunately, they didn't have the proper permits to serve alcohol. the staff is very nice, and the beers all seem reasonably priced and are good. read more
