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 - hazy, golden orange with steady carbonation and a nicely proportionated snow white head. Nose - fresh orange and papaya. Just a hint of passionfruit. Taste - peach or apricot, then refreshing orange and just a hint of biscuit base lurking. Palate - light bodied, long and nicely bitter finish. Overall - lovely stuff.

Can online from Beer Without Borders, Dumfries. Pours opaque dark brown with a decent beige head. Aroma: dark berries, liquorice hints. Taste: light sweet & bitter, light chocolate roast, berries, pine. Medium body with frothy carbonation. An interesting take on a BIPA, not much roast or bitterness
