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.

Bottle at home, thanks to Craig (Zimbo) - 20/12/12. Chilled in the fridge for about an hour - spot on! Pours a clear mid amber with a thin off white head that clears to the edge of the glass and forms a film atop. Some lacing ensues. Nose is big on pine resin, bitter hops, grapefruit, ripe mango, orange pith. Taste comprises bitter grapefruit, bitter hops, pine, mango, juicy citrus, bitter tastic! Medium bodied, fine carbonation, palate is pitch perfect. A most excellent IPA !
