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.

Cask, Hoopers, East Dulwich. Darkish golden colour with a very thin white head. Aroma was a sourish peach affair. Some malt in the flavour. Very watery and generally pretty naff.

330ml bottle from ASDA with a stated ABV of 5%. Deep golden in colour with aroma of buttery malt, hay and grassy hops. Flavour started sweetish, with a hint of citrus and a short, bitter finish. A good lager.

Cask, Barony Bar, Edinburgh. Golden colour with an off white head. Fruity , citrus, hoppy aroma. Smooth mouthfeel. Malty flavour, grassy, hoppy with a hint of spice and a slightly bitter finish. Quite a humorous pump clip ! Not bad.
