Black Isle Brewery

Organic beer with the great outdoors brewed in. A brewing tradition rediscovered. Some remnants of brewing were discovered during renovations of Old Allangrange. This fine 18th century house lies in one of the first areas to be cultivated on the Black Isle, and many of the place names in the area are derived from the Gaelic language, thus Allangrange, or Allann-Chrain, translates as 'a fertile field of corn'. The early statistical account of 1790 states that the area 'yields a much greater quantity of grain that is sufficient to support the inhabitants' which 'is found to be of superior quality to the brewer'.
