Description
When we started making brilliant, innovative beer back in 1983, the craft beer thing was just a glint in Harvie’s eye. Now, more than 35 years later, we are proud to be the forefathers of this movement to better beer. Harviestoun is a proud, family-run business, our Chairmen Sandy Orr and Donald MacDonald champion a dedication to the craft that produces award-winning, natural brews made using the finest ingredients and purest Scottish water.

Founded in 1983 by Ken Brooker, the Scottish brewery has grown steadily to become renowned for their award winning beers. Head brewer, Stuart Cail, joined Harviestoun in 1995. Over the years the brewery has found new and innovative ways to create truly unique beers from their whisky cask aged Old Engine Oil to Bitter and Twisted, aged in Gin and Pinot Noir barrels.

375ml can from Homebrewstuff. Black pour, fizzy head. Toasty, sweet, boozy aroma. Taste is sweet, bitter, anise, dry. How this can feel so boozy at 8% is a mystery. Earthy.

Cask, at benny's, small stable bubbly head, clear pale copper colour, aroma of citrus and herbs with just a hint of breadiness. Fruity malty sweetness and a light to medium herbal bitterness. Nice, pleasant and highly drinkable.

Cask at Red Deer, Sheffield. Pours clear golden with a white cap. Malt, caramel, smidge of honey, citrus hop. Light sweet with a light to moderate bitter finish. Light to medium body with soft carbonation. Well kept if a little mundane.

Bottle. Xmas gift off of Hydes. Part of a boxed 3 pack. Dark brown. What head there is, is lasting and semi lacing. Some decent legs too. Nose has soy sauce. Yeah, mostly gravy. Taste has some sweetness. A little bit bitter. Fairly smooth mouthfeel. Fine carbonation. Light dry and bitter finish. Nope. Just gravy nonsense.
