About
In 2012, The Harbour Brewing Co. was just a fledgling idea: to brew proper beer reflecting the land (and shores) from where it came. Taking the best raw ingredients - awesome hops, Cornish spring water tapped straight from the source - and bringing them to life through dedication to technique. The concept evolved by the ocean - hence, 'Harbour' - but the beer came into being on the farm. There is joy in returning to the roots of the ingredients. And the heritage of the space, of the land, of the ocean, remain our inspiration. Everything clicks; the farm is Harbour's home.

Antipodean Rye from Harbour Brewing Co
13 years ago
7.2/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Cask @ The Caley, Edinburgh [110713]
Amber, clear, frothy white head, good lacing
Aroma of soft rye, soft grassy hops, sweet fruity pale malt background, soft tropical fruit hops
Taste as aroma, resinous hops, very light rye, fair amount of light caramel malts, touch of toffee
Palate - Medium body, fairly oily, soft mouthfeel. Bitter fruity linger, bit over bitter
Overall - Quite a decent beer, perhaps a bit over malty, liked the soft rye.

Dark brown, ruby edges, frothy off white head

Taste - Dark dryish fruits, soft dark caramel malts, touch of spicy hops, very soft roast, quite sweet dark malts, not sure about this tbh, bit of an odd flavour
Palate - On the thin side for the abv. Finish - bit dry, bitter soft chocolate and fruit linger
Overall - This was just ok - not a particularly good porter tbh

Keg at CPK - Pimlico, London. Pours hazy yellow-gold with a light, foamy white head. Some dry and pithy citrus in the aroma, bit of melon, dry pale malts. Medium sweet flavor, lots of lightly dried citrus, pineapple, pine needles, mango. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly resinous to finish, lots of dry orange, pine, peach, mango, tangerine, grapefruit. Hints of pale wood. Great balance, lots of nuance. Great work.

Elderflower Light Ale from Harbour Brewing Co
13 years ago
6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Cask at CASK. It pours pale golden yellow with a tiny white head. The nose is floral, straw, hay, lemon zest, white grape and light barnyard. The taste is unsurprisingly like elderflower, straw, floral, decent bitterness, stone fruit, pepper and light citrus with a dry finish. Light-medium body and low carbonation. Ok, but nothing special.
