YER BEN is the signature ale of Scotland’s Michelin star chef Tom Kitchin, who took the passion of the Isle of Skye Brewery and created this exceptionally smooth ale.
‘My grandfather Ben Robinson, or Popa as we called him, was a true connoisseur of beer. He loved Scotland, especially the Highlands and Islands where he spent many happy times. You would often find my popa deep in conversation or simply reflecting on life with a fine ale in his hand. It gave him great enjoyment to always carefully consider the quality and condition of his beer choice. He inspired me to do the same.’

Bottle at Escargot Blanc. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - sweet malt and some honey. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - good solid ale.
