Description
Cross Borders’ origins trace back to an illicit biscuit cartel run by our two founders in primary school. This brewery IS THE RESULT OF YEARS OF friendship, HARD WORK, EXPERIENCE, AND a refusal to grow up. Based in leafy midlothian we brew braw beer you’ll want to drink again and again (responsibly of course).

Bottle from Great Grog. Black body with a ton of flecks beneath a non-existent head. No visible carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of rose and lemon. Flavour of espresso, bitter lemon and rose. Thin body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. It looks truly terrible and doesn’t taste much better - the overall impression is astringent.
