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.

Can from Cork & Cask. Hazy golden body with a thick yuck white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of clove, white bread and banana. Flavour of pepper, yeast, coriander and underripe banana. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Another top quality beer from Cromarty. This tastes like it was brewed by Andechs. I’ve tried this beer a few times over the years, and it truly is one of the finest Hefeweizens I’ve tried.
