About
The Cromarty Brewing Co is a family run business consisting of Craig, Chap and Jenni Middleton. Craig, our fanatical founding brewer studied the science of brewing at Heriot Watt University and the art of beer making in the student accommodation and flat basements. After finishing the course he went on to do some work in various breweries to gain valuable experience. It was during this time that he decided he wanted to get his own beers to market.

In the spring of 2011 construction of the brewery started on the shed works and some awesome stainless steel was ordered from Bavarian Brewery Technologies. Hectic times and long hours later led to the first of the casks rolling out on the 19th December 2011.

On cask @ the Stockbridge Tap. Craig has added some Sasparilla to this one. It really does lift the coffee thing into another dimension. You’d think that it become too sickly but I was sorry in the end that I’d gone for a half instead of a pint.

Cask at York Tap. Golden amber colour, foam white head leaving lots of lacing and aroma of floral citrus hop. Taste is malt caramel with floral grapefruit citrus and hoppy bitterness. Light bodied, medium carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

500ml Bottle - Amber/copper with a foamy head. Pine, grapefruit, toffee and a hint of dried fruit in the aroma. Hoppy and slightly sweet taste with a good balance of hops, malt and notes of pine, grapefruit and dried apricot. The finish is very pleasant and lingers for quite a while.

Tap at Friends of Ham Leeds. Easy drinking, hoppy, pale ale erring towards the Atlantic side, but with the restraint of its lower strength keeping it in check.

Bottle from Hippo Beers, Glasgow (and previously straight from the FV at Cromarty!). It pours very dark brown (near black) with a medium beige head. The nose is roasted malt, juicy pine, earth, toasted oat, coffee, dark chocolate and chocolate orange. The taste is roasty, toast, earth, cocoa, pine, grapefruit and spice with damn bitter finish. Light body and moderate carbonation. Smells pretty amazing. No major depth of flavour, but tasty nonetheless. Packs a punch at 2%! A great low abv beer.
