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 Great Grog. Clear amber body with a thin off-white head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of toffee, red apple and dried grass. Flavour of burnt caramel and pine. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. Piney and earthy with a not-unwelcome slightly charred quality.

Can from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy yellow. Foamy, snow white head. Nose - tangy lemon with just a hint of banana and sweet spice. Smells like a wheat ale, for sure. Taste - banana, candied lemon and sweet yeasty notes. Palate - light bodied, creamy middle and very gentle bitterness. Overall - a great example of the style!

Opaque golden/orange with a thin head. Sweet mango aroma. Flsvour has mango, some pineapple, a little bitter citrus. Good body, mango lingers into the finish. Pretty drinkable though lacking a little oomph.
