Our tiny part of the West Highlands ...
... Welcome! |

Welcome to our online tour of the brewery. In the next few pages
we'll show you the basics of how we put our beers together - stopping
off along the way to let you know a little about Kinlochleven, our building,
and the history of Atlas Brewery.
Before we start, though, you need to know where we are...
As the photo on the left shows, Atlas Brewery (circled in red) is in the
middle of the Scottish Highland village of Kinlochleven.
We're right on the banks of the River Leven at the head of Loch Leven,
with the Glencoe hills and the Morvern peninsula in the distance.
Kinlochleven's past is intimately connected with the history of aluminium
smelting. The handsome Victorian building that is now the brewery
is one of four buildings that remain from the village's aluminium smelter,
which at one time was famous throughout the world.
The smelter closed in the late 1990s, and the brewery building lay empty...
till in winter 2001/2002 we took the property on and began the conversion
into a brewery.
