Description
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.

Clear golden beer, thick white head. Smell is light and zesty, with a little pine. Flavour has grapefruit, lemon, grassy hop, quite a kick of alcohol. It's a while since I've had a big IPA that doesn't really high how strong it is at all and while it's got some nice flavour that alcohol burn does take away from it a bit.
