As a lover of hand-crafted ales and a desire to create my own product, I decided it was time the Falkland Islands had its own brewery.
So in 2012 Falkland Beerworks was born.
My aim is to produce high quality, natural and consistently first-rate ales using quality ingredients and traditional methods. All with your and my enjoyment in mind.

Hello!
I have a question: how can I get You beer? May I get it in Europe? Is it possible to send it to Europe? Answer me, please.
Best regards

It is not possible to get my beer in Europe, it is only availible in the Falklands. It costs a lot of money to send overseas.

Hi Martin, I really enjoyed your beer, loved the maltyness to it.
What did you think of the Rockhopper? Not sure how well it travels, as there could have been a bit of sediment as my bottling system is rather crude.
If I am ever back up in Newcastle I will pay you a visit.
Cheers.

Always great to have good feedback from satisfied customers, who were lucky enough to vist the Falkladns. I have sent bottled beer to Hong Kong but it costs a lot in freight. It was £70 for freight but only £10 for the 4 beers. It really is a bit too expencive to send. Sorry.

As much as I would love to supply your social club, it would not be possible. I buy nearly all my ingrediants from the UK, and (grain and hops etc), the thought of sending it all the way back in the form of beer, would be good for my proffits but no so good for the environment.

Had the pleasure to stop in on the way through to South Georgia the other day. Tried 3 of the beers but really liked the Rock Hopper. Had it on bottle and even better on tap at the Victory. We grabbed a couple cases of stubbys for the boat. However the brewery or Studio52 was not open that day to get a Pint glass or two or a Shirt Any chance of posting those I will pay for the merchandise and posting of course. thanks for thinking about it and I really am a fan of the Rock Hopper.

Hi Lawrence, I am pleased that you enjoyed the beer, Rock Hopper does seem to be the most popular. We have problems in the Falklands with recieving payments from overseas, Paypal will no longer work and the bank in antiquated. I have recieved payment from the states by the use of telegraphic bank transfer before, but that was for quite a large beer order from a expedition cruise company. It worked but I have no idea what the cost was to them.

Hi Jeff, unfortunately we were not able to meet you, but went for a pub crawl around Stanley to try your beers! It was home away from home. We ended up trying 4, Longdon Pride, Rockhopper, Black Tarn, and the special Iron Lady. Thanks a lot, and good luck for your future brews!

Do you consider yourself the southernmost brewery in the world?
LikeLike
July 26, 2017 at 8:49 pm
No I do not. I know of a brewery in Punta Arenas, and I am aware of a brewery in Ushuaia Argentina and Puerto Williams Chile. These 3 towns are just a bit further south than us. However I do consider my brewery as the remotest and with probably the longest supply line as nearly all of my grain and hops come from the UK and can take over 3 months to arrive from date of purchase.
I hope this answers your question.

I am away from the Falklands on holiday so I won’t be there.
The best places to try my beer is at the Victory Bar and Malvina House Hotel. The Vic is a 2 minute walk directly up the hill from where you land and the Malvina is a short enjoyable 10 minute stroll along the waterfront past Studio 52 and the bank opposite the museum.

At the moment Longdon Pride is on in the Vic, Globe and Malvina and will shortly be replaced with Rockhopper and then Black Tarn. You can get bottles of Rockhopper, Iron Lady and Longdon Pride at Bitter Sweet and The Waterfront Hotel.
I hope this helps, get it while it is there as it doesn’t last very long when the cruise ships are in.

I have a home bar back in the UK and would like to display one of those bar runners. Would you be prepared to sell me one and ship the the UK? Happy of course to cover all shipping costs.

Hi Kevin,
At present i do not sell to the supermarkets. I only sell bottled beers in The Waterfront Hotel, Narrows Lounge and Narrows Bar. I sell cask condidtioned beer in The Victory Bar, Globe Tavern and Malvina House hotel. Not all beers are always available at any one time, but if you enjoy drinking something diffent that you can only get here then you can have fun trying all the different places that sell it. You may be lucky and get all six.
Have fun and I hope you enjoy your Falkland experience.
