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.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Slightly hazy dark brown amber colour, bubbly beige foam head and aroma of bready malt, zingy citrusy grapefruit, roasty earthy underhints. Taste is malty, roasted, bready, with grapefruit, lemony citric, some pine, and resiny hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry light roasty bitter finish. Nicely driinkable.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Cork & Cask. Pours clear brown with a creamy, light khaki head. Light-medium sweet flavour with notes of brown bread, light lemon and grapefruit, subtle roast, earth. Light bodied with active, massaging carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, some toasted sugars, more earth, brown bread, mild floral notes, nips of cocoa and roast. Enjoyable.
