Description
We are Fyne Ales, a family-owned Scottish farm brewery. When our brewery was founded in 2001, the goal was not only to make the best quality beer, but to bring jobs, industry and tourism to our community and our quiet corner of rural Scotland. We’ve continued brewing in this spirit ever since. Drawing water from the hills and brewing in converted farm buildings, we create modern, ambitious and progressive beers in a wide variety of styles.

Cask at George Hotel, Inveraray. Near clear dark mahogany colour. Spicy hops are complimented by chocolate. Light-medium bodied with soft, vital mouthfeel. Lots of spicy hops, mild chocolaty toastiness with slight notes of wood. Long bitter finish. Absolutely delicously drinkable! Wish I had time for more than 3 pints! In my books Fyne Ales are Scotlands best brewery!
