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.

500ml bottle: BB17th Jan 2020. Poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 30th June 2019. Thin wispy head on a weak and thin dark body. Thought this watery and lacking in depth for a Stout. Mild chocolate notes but no oomph at all.

Cask at the Park Tavern, Eltham. Gold pour with a white head. Nose of apple pie, lots of sweet fruit, pear. Similar action in the flavour with a tinge of bitterness in the finish. Refreshing, summery brew.
