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.

7th Nov 2016: cask pint at The Salopian Bar, Shrewsbury. Poured a clear light gold, thin white topping. Slight citrusy leanings in both the nose and taste, floral notes too, subtle all round and not really my thing. Scored objectively.

Half-pint, cask ale, shared with Finn at Great Western Hotel Loco Bar. Patchy surface, fair lacing, clear amber-gold body. Restrained malt-fruity aroma. Caramel, cereal and a light touch of citrus. Distant bittersweet endnotes. Drinkable (Exeter 27.09.2016).
