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.

Bottle from Asda, High Wycombe. Deep, dull gold with a white head and middling fizz. Pleasant lemon and peach up front. Descends into a rather dull caramel finish. Quite sweet; could do with a lot more crispness in the finish. So-so overall.

Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a hazy orange-brown with a small cream head. Has a faint aroma of fruits mixed with oranges and malts. In the mouth the overwhelming sensation is how watery it is. There’s a barley sugar sweetness and underneath it all are some nuts and toffee. An acrid sharpness as well – I suspect this example not in the best condition. Will need to rerate.
