Our Story

Five Kingdoms started off brewing in 2015 as a hobby and passion project between Alastair Scoular, owner of the local Pub and Restaurant The Steam Packet Inn, and head chef Brendon Dennett, who had previous experience brewing at 6degrees North. With the location, premises and experience of the pub trade and a pure passion for real ale, Alastair and Brendon were the perfect balance for a successful venture to create honest, fine ales. Since then the team has doubled, and we now have Sara our Office Manager, and Ailsa who looks after everything creative as well as sales and marketing.

Being a small team we are very proud and passionate about doing everything in house. From the inception of the recipes, to the names, designs, brewing, bottling, sales and deliveries.

In cask, keg, can and bottle we love to offer a wide range of craft beer from traditional real ales, to exciting and rich dark beers, to really inventive hop forward IPA’s. Each beer is uniquely inspired by something important to us, be it a literary character, piece of music, a place close to our hearts or even hard earned personal experience.
