Description
Lineman was setup in 2019 and we produced our first beer in August of that year. That beer was First Light, a grisette which we sold on draught and bottle. At the same time we also produced a mixed fermentation beer, using a homebrew house kveik culture, called SAGA. So just the two unusual styles to begin with then.

Lineman had been a long-planned project of founder/owner/brewer Mark Lucey. Having been obsessed with beer and heavily involved in homebrewing for all his adult life, it was always an ambition to open a brewery or have a commercial brewing project that would allow him to produce a diverse range of beer. Stouts, Belgians styles, IPAs and Mixed Fermentations.

440ml can at home. Pours a slightly hazy yellow gold with a thin white head. Nose is more tangerine than grapefruit, slight bit of green onion, citrus hops, very slight bit of pine. Flavour is mostly the tangerine upfront and the pine behind with some grainy malt.
