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 from Beers of Europe. Appearance - deep amber with a nicely proportioned head. Nose - strawberry and orange, with a pine thing going on in the background. Taste - more strawberry, light caramel biscuit. An orange hint again. Palate - close to medium bodied. Dry and crunchy-ish but smooth through the finish. Overall - nice beer.
