About
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. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a massive fizzy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, corn, light woody hop. The flavour is light bitter with a light watery light citrus, fake sugar, light hop bitter palate. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Pretty awful. Light, watery and devoid of flavour.

(From notes made in May 2016). Amber pour with a white head. Nose of pineapple, grapefruit, tangerine. Heavy sweet fruit action in the flavour with a bitter twist in the finish. Tasty.

Aus der Flasche 2018-08 getrunken. Ein süffiges, kupfernes Bitter mit moderaten Hopfeneinstz und leichter Malz- und Karamellnoten Nicht der schlechteste Essenbegleiter.
