Atlas & Orkney are two very distinctive individual small breweries, making extraordinary beers from only the finest ingredients. The extensive range of “contemporary classics” are carefully designed to tempt every palate. Choose from award-winning, sessional, light, modern Latitude to the famous unique Orcadian Dark Island.

 

Stonehenge Brewery The Old Mill, in Netheravon. Each beer is brewed to its own recipe by the traditional infusion mash method using only the finest quality malt and whole hops. Choices include the famous seasonal green beer Sign of Spring, Pigswill and great bustard.

 

 

3.6% Cask Pilsner

Latitude is an unashamed hybrid between a cask pale ale and the crisp, hoppy beers that made the town of Pilsen famous. Classic German and Slovenian noble hops, including Styrian Goldings, Hallertauer Mittlefruh and Tettnang, give Latitude its crisp Pilsner-like hop character.

“I’ve always been a fan of pale ales and this is no exception. The nose is a wonderful combination of fruity and floral notes… Overall, a superbly well balanced, fruity ale.”

Joe Fattorini,

The Herald

4.5% Pale Ale

Atlas Brewery's spring beer is Equinox, a beer of real subtlety. Brewed with the best Highland honeys, Equinox is a golden pale ale with a fruity, floral spring promise and a hint of honey in the aftertaste.

The beer is brewed with the best Highland honeys, and this shows in delicate notes of acacia and heather on the nose, opening into a body of soft, rounded malt notes. The finish is a long aftertaste of floral hop aromas and a delicious, delicate honey sweetness.

This is not a 'honey beer' as such - it has no overwhelming sweetness or honey flavours on the palate, but the flowery notes in the aroma and the delicate honey aftertaste give this beer that 'something different' that draws you back for another pint!

 
 

3.8% abv

The Red MacGregor is named after the brewery founder’s association with the MacGregor clan. It is hoppy pleasantly bitter, red-coloured session beer with a smoothness that belies its’ aggressive ancestors!

4.6 abv

An iconic Dark Scottish beer. Dark Island is The Orkney Brewery’s flagship beer. Exhibiting a ripe, fruity, chocolate nose, Dark Island is balanced by flavours, of dark chocolate, figs and nuts from the combination of roasted malts and rich hops.

4.0% abv

Dragonhead is a truly classic stout. This beer is brimming over with rich roast barley flavours, complemented by a complex, bitter blend of traditional hop varieties.

8.5% abv

Scotland’s strongest beer takes it’s name from Thorfinn Hauskaluif. “The Skullsplitter”, 7th Viking Earl of Orkney. At 8.5% abv, this beer is deceptively drinkable: fruity, vinous, complex and rewarding.

3.8% abv

Raven Ale is the classic Scottish session ale. Exhibiting a biscuity malt character and a slightly spicy hop aroma of tangy orange, Raven is quaffable and refreshing at any time of year and on any occasion.

4.0% abv

Northern Light is a delicate hoppy pale ale: light and refreshing. This beer combines juicy malt character with a citrus and apricot hoppiness. Perfectly refreshing at room temperature or chilled.

SIGN OF SPRING

Brewed mid Feb-Mar-Apr-May.

Brewed at OG 1044 and ABV 4.6%. A light green, incredibly smooth and very drinkable beer, rich in both malt and hop aroma. Specially brewed for springtime (beer) lovers.

PIGSWILL

Brewed at OG 1040 and ABV 4.0%. A full bodied beer, not so bitter, but rich in hop aroma which gives the beer a delightful aftertaste. The warm amber colour is very appealing to the eye.

SPIRE ALE

Brewed at OG 1037 and ABV 3.8%. A golden, hoppy beer made with Maris Otter Pale Ale malt, First Gold hops for bitterness and for aroma, the new hop, Willamette is adding a tempting nose to this very palatable golden brew.

HEEL STONE

Brewed at OG 1042 and ABV 4.3%. A crisp clean, refreshing bitter, deep amber in colour, well balanced with a fruity blackcurrant nose. Bitter flavour. Our brewer's recipe, which proves he certainly deserved his Brewer's Certificate.

GREAT BUSTARD

At OG 1046 and ABV 4.8%, the beer is traditionally brewed using only the finest quality of water, barley and rye malts, whole hops and the brewery's own top-fermenting yeast. The colour is deep amber with a red hue derived from the Head Brewer's unique composition of ingredients. The taste is deliciously fruity and malty with a lingering bitter aftertaste.

This fine beer is brewed to celebrate the approval in November 2003 for the reintroduction of the Great Bustard bird onto the Salisbury Plain and a 5p donation is being made to the Great Bustard Group for every pint sold.

Great Bustard: an Award Winning ale!
