Skye Blaven

Skye Blaven

The ale started out in 1996 as a winter-only brew. However, the rich malty character and well-balanced hop aroma proved so popular, we decided to make it available all year round.

Creamy, full-bodied and smooth, Blaven is also somewhat deceptive – the strongest of our regular ales.

Blaven is bottled at 4.7% ABV, but available on tap at 5% ABV.
