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 at The Cove, Covent Garden, London. A hazy golden beer with a thick off-white head. The aorma is sweet with light malty notes. The flavor is sweet with citrusy notes as well as light notes of wheat, leading to a dry wheaty finish. The body is thin, and all in all it is boring.

500ml bottle. Golden beer, lasting thin off white hea.d Nutty. Some earthiness. Very over carbonated. Very harsh. Don’t know what to say. The bubbles make it metallic and hard to drink, the earthy nutty aroma, also doesn’t endear. Stewed rhubarb flavour. Odd aroma. Not off, just not pleasant.
