lerwick brewery tours

Looking for things to do in Shetland? We regularly welcome guests to see the inner workings of our brewery - home to the UK’s most northerly craft beers.

Lerwick Brewery Classic Tour & Tasting

Our experienced guides will lead you from raw ingredient to final product as you learn how craft beer is made at a Shetland brewery. You will have time to taste and smell the malt and hops as we make our way through the various stages of brewing.

The tour ends where it should, in our taproom where you may try out of some of our complimentary beers! Stay for a while if you like and browse our gift shop with our full range of beers alongside merch and other local Shetland crafts.  Questions are welcomed throughout.

Booking is essential - we are a small and busy team and kindly ask that you book at least 24hrs in advance.

Children under 18 are welcome with a responsible adult.

£20.00 per person; £5.00 for U18s; free for children under 5.

Tour Reviews

“What a fun experience in beautiful Lerwick. Easy, comfortable environment with a great tour. Beer was awesome! We were on a cruise so it was easy to catch a cab at the pier and they called one for us to return to pier.”

“This brewery is an excellent place to visit when in Shetland. The beer is fantastic, as is the tour. Well worth the price, I highly recommend it.”

“Class beer, great wee tour and lovely people. Definitely a must go if in Lerwick for a day. Next time in Shetland I'll take extra luggage so I can carry more home with me”
