Independence is a state of mind. We believe our brewery is independent of mind because we stick passionately to what we believe in: brewing the finest beer we can to the best of our ability.

Available throughout the year, Independence is a classic, full bodied and malty beer with subtle hints of mixed fruits and punches of spice. A perfect balance of Pilgrim and Saaz hops delivers a high quality, nicely rounded ale, with earthy and slightly spicy notes.

Cask-conditioned at Blackfriars, Glasgow 18/06/10. Amber coloured with a slight white head. Sweet, caramel aroma with some summer fruits. Flavour was similarly sweet and malty, with a touch of citrus hop, mineral edge and moderately bitter finish. Ok.
