Orkney Brewery wins great taste awards

The Orkney Brewery is celebrating after securing double honours in a prestigious national food and drink competition.

The brewery’s Dark Island beer scooped two Great Taste Awards gold stars, while the speciality Dark Island Reserve ale received the highest three gold star classification.

Regarded as the industry Oscars, The Guild of Fine Food’s annual Great Taste Awards are the UK’s largest independent evaluation of fine food and drink.

Norman Sinclair, managing director of the brewery, said: “We’re absolutely over the moon about these awards, which are recognised as the most important and trusted in the UK food and drink industry.”
