Description
The Old Inn at Gairloch has long been known for its keeping of real ales and fine food. It is a Traditional Highland Coaching Inn that has been operated by Alastair and Ute Pearson since 1999. It only seemed right to add a small brewery to the business. Worked started in 2009 on a 100 litre brewing plant and a year later brewing started.

Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Light vanilla and vegetables coming through to finish. Okay.
