Discover the exceptional beers of Tempest Brewing Co., an independent Scottish craft brewery renowned for its vibrant hop-forward Pale Ales, innovative speciality beers and outstanding Imperial Stouts. Founded in 2010 by Gavin and Annika Meiklejohn, Tempest's remarkable journey began in a garage in Christchurch, New Zealand, where Gavin developed his passion for brewing with distinctive Southern Hemisphere hops. After returning to Scotland, the couple established their brewery in a former dairy in Kelso before expanding into Tweedbank in the Scottish Borders. Combining international brewing influences with carefully selected ingredients and an uncompromising commitment to quality, Tempest has earned a reputation as one of Scotland's most respected independent breweries. Its adventurous range celebrates everything from refreshing Lagers and aromatic IPAs to extravagant barrel-aged creations.

Best known for its beautifully balanced hop-forward beers and imaginative dark releases, Tempest produces some of Scotland's most distinctive modern craft beers. Long White Cloud is a refreshing New Zealand Extra Pale Ale featuring Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, Rakau and Waimea hops, delivering vibrant citrus, gooseberry, peach and delicate floral notes. Vermont Sessions combines Citra, Mosaic and Galaxy for a wonderfully juicy Hazy Pale Ale bursting with mango, citrus and stone fruit flavours. For something more indulgent, Mexicake is an extraordinary Mexican-inspired Imperial Stout brewed with cacao, vanilla, cinnamon and two varieties of chilli, offering rich chocolate flavours, warming spice and a gentle chilli finish. The brewery's range also includes Pale Armadillo, a refreshing sessionable Pale Ale, and Modern Helles, a crisp, beautifully balanced Lager.
