The Brewery was named after Valhalla, the Hall of the Norse god Odin, where all fallen Viking warriors are met with a horn filled with good ale. It brewed six different types of beers, the first was the "Auld Rock", a dark ale brewed with malt and hops. The other types are Simmer Dim, Sjolmet Stout, White Wife, Old Scatness and the newest one Island Bere brewed from bere barley.[3] The brewery closed in spring 2017 (6 years ago) (2017) due to the ill-health of the owners.
In 2018 (5 years ago) (2018), the brewery was opened under new management in the former Olnafirth Primary School, Voe.[4][5]
