Fyne Ales

Arguably Scotland's best all-round brewery. Fyne Ales operates from a converted farm at the head of Glen Fyne in Argyll, producing cask ale and craft keg that consistently wins at CAMRA, SIBA, and international competitions. Jarl — a 3.8% session blonde — is possibly the best session beer brewed in Scotland: light, hoppy, endlessly drinkable. The rest of the range is equally strong: Avalanche (amber ale), Highlander (rich Scottish ale), and a rotating series of specials that push into modern craft territory without abandoning the cask ale roots. The brewery tap room has one of the best settings of any Scottish brewery — remote, green, and worth the drive from Glasgow.
