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 - solid pale red. Thin white head.
Nose - creamy raspberry, light funk.
Taste - more of the same. Tart raspberry this time.
Palate - light bodied, not so creamy on the palate, nice tart raspberry finish.
Overall - not sure it's an ice cream raspberry ripple, it's fresher than that, but I prefer that.
