Description
Folklore abounds in the marketing of Skinner’s Cornish beers, which were first supped in 1997. Steve Skinner heads a successful Cornish business whose beers are seen throughout the county and nationwide too via good wholesale distribution. Countless barrels and hundreds of awards later, our brewery has grown but remains a family business rooted in the area we live and work, whether that’s doing our bit for our corner of the planet, enjoying a bit of surfing or having a go at some shanty-singing.. The brewery has a 25-barrel plant, a good beer shop and well presented visitor centre.

In early 2023 taken over by Goodh Brewing.

Bottle that Mum & Dad shared - cheers! Light amber with a middling fizz and a negligible white head. Dry, biscuitty malts and wheat chaff. A hint of floral hops. Moderate bitterness. So-so standard supermarket brew.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - pale golden with a nice frothy head. Nose - caramel biscuits and citrus. Taste - lemon and honey this time. Palate - light bodied. Tangy texture. The finish is a mixture of dry and sweet. Overall - not as fresh and zingy as I prefer my IPA. But not bad.
