Tempest Brewing Co

A Borders brewery making beer with ambition that belies its rural location. Tempest was founded by a New Zealander (hence Long White Cloud, named after the Maori name for New Zealand) and brings a Southern Hemisphere hop-forward approach to Scottish brewing. Long White Cloud is a benchmark NZ-style pale ale — tropical, aromatic, and assertively hopped. Brave New World (IPA) and All The Leaves Are Brown (brown ale) show range. The Tweedbank tap room is a proper destination bar with a food menu, regular events, and a rotating selection of experimental brews that don't make it to distribution. Easily the best brewery in the Borders.
