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 from Morrisons, online. Clear gold with small white head, some retention. Aroma is sweet and fruity, some biscuit and swimming pool like minerals (not in a bad way). Taste is biscuit malts, lime, passionfruit and minerals. Light and refreshing, nicely carbonated. Another good beer from Skinners. Happy days.

Hand-pulled pint at the Mitre Inn, Witheridge on 23rd July 2024. Golden body, clean and clear, white head. Dank grapefruit feel to the bitter and slightly 'off' flavour, didn't take to it at all.
