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.

17th July 2018, 500ml bottle at my brothers place in Devon while cooking the evening meal. Light golden body, white affair on top. Mild malty aroma and flavour base, floral and citrus esters in the nose, they also show in the taste. Decent enough blend, but lacks 'oomph' and depth.
