Description
We are a small craft beer micro brewery based in East Lothian. We were born in Pencaitland but now brew our artisan beers in our own custom built 10hL brewery in West Barns. Both our directors are Haddington born and bred, our brand design is by a Haddington designer, our grain is sourced from Drem and our spent grain is eaten by the coos in Athelstaneford! We are extremely proud of our East Lothian heritage and use the quality produce of the county where possible to produce our superior quality beers.

Our company slogan is drink, blether, be happy and we have developed our beers and branding with that in mind.

We absolutely love what we do and what we create and aim to put a smile on the handsome faces of our customers from our bright and eye catching branding and Scottish slang themed names through to the handcrafted fresh, crisp, tasty beers we produce! Slàinte!

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours clear cherry red with a small, dissipating off-white head. The aroma is tart, tangy, earthy, funky, zingy, deep ripe cherry character, cherry drops and a splash of red wine vinegar. The taste is quite crisp upfront, snappy, juicy and tangy, lovely deep cherry character, ripe and jammy, sour berry, fizzy cherry cola bottles, sherbet, dib dab, refreshers, some funk and lactic vibes. Finish is all about the tart cherry. Medium body and prickly, fizzy carbonation. Very drinkable stuff Indeed. Does what it says on the tin.

Can from Westhill Service Station. It pours hazy orangey - amber with a thick, frothy white has some small white floaters even with a careful pour. The aroma is soft, doughy malts, floury, slightly chalky, rather fruity, fruit salad sweets, pic n mix, peach, mango, tangerine and papaya. The taste is dry, quite crisp for this style, snap of bitterness, pithy, zesty, tangerine, kumquat, peach, apricot, nectarine, piney resin, nip of peppery spice and some bread with a fairly short, zesty finale. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Has a kick of bitterness which works well as so many breweries attempting this style (in the UK anyway) make it far too sweet. Decent gear.

Can thanks to the brewer. Appearance - bright cherry red and translucent. Quickly disappearing head. Nose - funky and cherry. Taste - cherry and cherry cola. Light funk. Palate - light bodied, funky and slightly sour. Decent linger. Overall - more funky than sour. Could have more sourness, in truth.

Can thanks to the brewer. Appearance - bright orange with only a very light haze. Big, fluffy white head. Nose - ripe melon, tinned peach, orange and sweet apple. Taste - more fruit salad, with orange and apple coming through most. Palate - light to medium bodied, creamy texture. Gently bitter finish. Overall - good. Really in between a West Coast and a NEIPA.
