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.

Endelig tilbake på Cardinal etter 6 ukers coronakarantene: 0,33 flaske (bb. april-16) generøst spanert av og delt med skibsrederen. Nesten helt svart med kort skum. Svisker, engelsk lakris, tjære, kreosot, lær og noe syrlig som jeg ikke er helt sikker på at hører hjemme her.
