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. Murky orange body with a thin white head. No visible carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of pineapple and mango. Flavour of grapefruit, pine and lime. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Light fizz. The flavour is sharper than the punchy, fruity aroma suggests. It’s a good IPA. Really enjoying this hop showcase from Cromarty.
