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.

Amber color. Some hop aroma, nuts; some malt, seaweed. Dry taste, reminds me some Chinese food, weak body. Original and weird!

Cask handpull at East Cliff Tavern Folkestone. Light brown colour with malty fruit on the nose, good in mouth with more fruity malt and then dry hoppy finish. Session ale you want to keep tasting

Cask at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Well this won’t be worrying our continental cousins in terms of wheat beer. Blond citrus and hoppy with some lemon and some banana fruit with a dry hoppy finish but none of the other traits you would expect from a white beer. Inoffensive enough

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF, 2004] An Amber beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel and hops - and so is the flavor.

Copper colour with a rich, frothy head. Honey, sweet pale malts and leafy hops and berryish esters in the appetizing aroma. Leafy flavours, with sweet honey underpinning. Refreshing.
