Description
six°north was established in 2013. The concept was born in Belgium when founder Robert Lindsay fell in love with the country’s beer culture and tradition. He soon returned to north east Scotland to start brewing his own beers, six°north of Brussels. We make modern, artisanal beers that are driven by Belgian brewing tradition and inspired by modern brewing practices.

Our beers are unfiltered and carbonated naturally through secondary fermentation. We brew classic Belgian inspired beers, as well as modern, hop-forward styles. We also release a number of collaboration beers each year with other breweries.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Hazy pale golden body with a thin white head that holds well. Great lacing. Easily the best looking Six Degrees North beer I’ve tried. Aroma of lemon, dough, grass and coriander seeds. Flavour of lemon, herbs and yeast. Medium body with a frothy texture. Soft fizz. Very nice, refreshing.
