Viking Mead, owners of the Valhalla Brewery in Shetland have gone into liquidation. The Valhalla Brewery in Unst, Shetland, Scotland, was the northernmost brewery in the United Kingdom. It was opened by the husband and wife team Sonny and Silvia Priest in December 1997, and originally based in a large shed in Baltasound, in the centre of Unst. In 2012 the brewery moved to a building at the former RAF Saxa Vord radar station, near Haroldswick.

The closure leaves the Lerwick Brewery as the only brewery in Shetland.
