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.

Palate - light bodied but with good texture and a very persistent, sharp finish. Overall - a proper gose, as the salt ie very evident.

Clear red beer, a small head soon fizzes away. Smell is bready, with banana and a little pepper. Flavour has caramel, berries, a little spice, some toasty malt. Doesn't have the kick I'd expect for the strength, but it's distinct and the flavour lingers with the toasty pepper coming through a little in the finish too to make it smooth and warming.

Clear dark amber beer, thin off white head. Smells of a light, sweet fruit I can't quite place, but it's nice. Flavour has fruit, caramel, malt, a little boozy warmth. Not as big and punchy as you might expect or hope for but it's warm and sweet and very drinkable.
