Description
Two Towns Down is a brewing project founded by Sandy McKelvie.
Sandy started his brewing career in the Isle of Man before returning to his native Scotland to complete the Brewing and Distilling Degree at Heriot Watt University. In his third year he was also the in-house brewer at the Hanging Bat which included collabs with the likes of Six Degrees North.
Once the four year course was complete he took a brewing position at Fallen Brewing Co. before moving on to head up recipe development and barrel aging at Black Isle Brewing Co. Having recently relocated to 71 Brewing in Dundee, Sandy has taken the opportunity to launch his own project, showcasing innovative and cutting edge beers while still drawing inspiration from classic brewing philosophies.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - golden and clear with steady carbonation and a fizzy white head that doesn't hang around too long.
Nose - dank and funky, then confectionery. It could be watermelon, it might be pomegranate or red apple.
Taste - red fizzy fruit sweets.
Palate - light to medium bodied, fizzy and tangy sweet with some sourness.
Overall - sweet shop sours, are not for me.

Sample thanks to Grumbo. Pours unclear orange, no head. Aroma of mango and passionfruit smoothie, continues to taste, medium bodied with a slick mango juice mouthfeel, pulpy moments, quite sweet. Decent.
