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.

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.

Hi Lawrence, I am pleased that you enjoyed the beer, Rock Hopper does seem to be the most popular.

I also looked after two pigs, “Olympus & Tyne” over there. As there weren’t much else to visit at that time we had to make do with homemade! So glad to hear your brewery is thriving down there.
