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.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A very mild haze on this deep amber - brown beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Light palate, a little dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Fairly light bodied malts for a brew like this, a modest creamy sweetness, plenty of caramel, rich and not too sweet. A little ripe fruits. Mild oak induced vanilla. Whiskey or Bourbon soaked fruits. Fairly light finish. Goes down pretty easy if very slightly unsophisticated.
