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 Lord Burton, Burton-upon-Trent. Pours pale gold with a small off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just some vague tropical fruits and hints of malts. In the mouth it is sweet and a tad watery. There are tropical fruits to the fore, along with tangerine, lemongrass and some floral hops. Finish is slightly dry. This is OK, but somewhat bland.
