Narrowboat Farm, Linlithgow, EH49 6QY, Scotland
Description
Strangers Brewing Co. sits in an old veg shed on Narrowboat Farm, an eco-friendly market garden farm in central Scotland. We have been brewing here since 2021, making distinctive, delicious, craft beer with a local flavour. Our aim is to make good beer that brings people together, creates community and turn strangers into friends.
At Strangers Brewing Co. we brew craft beer, by hand in small batches. We have a core range of beers which are available all year round, as well as seasonal specials that take their flavours from what’s growing on the farm and the surrounding Scottish countryside. We want to make beer that’s full of flavour yet balanced, interesting without being ‘wacky’. We make beer that we enjoy drinking, instead of just following what everyone else is doing.

Can from Two Thirsty Men. It pours clear blonde with a dissipating fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, clean, doughy white bread, rich tea biscuit, touch of sweetness and some grass. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, prickly, toasty grains, grassy, leafy, dougy white bread, custard creams and straw with a dry, prickly carbonation. Light + body and fairly high, prickly carbonation. Quenching in the heat, but not a huge amount to it.

Can from Two Thirsty Men. It pours murky purple - brown with a dissipating khaki head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, jammy, tangy, plum, bramble, prune, dandelion & burdock, victoria sponge cake and mellow spice. The taste is smooth, juicy, crispy, crunchy, sweet - sour, bramble, plum, damson, prune, dandelion & burdock, damp herbs, spice, earth, damp oak and some fragrant florals with a earthy, muddy finish. Average body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Not much depth to it tbh. A bit muddy. Fair.

Can from. Two Thirsty Men. It pours clear rich amber with a small white head. The aroma is sappy, sticky, resin, berry, dried fruits, toffee, floral and juniper. The taste is firmly dry, bitter - sweet, toffee, resin, sappy, crisp biscuit, wood, berry, floral accents, marmalade and some peppery juniper. Finish is crisp and dry. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Quite an old skool British IPA offering, but works well with a wee dram.

Cask. Pours near black with a small light tan head. Smells of roast malt and chocolate. It tastes of chocolate, coffee, and roast malt. Pretty sweet. Medium body. Good.

440ml can from brewery shop - jet black body with a small tan head. Roasted malts with a dark chocolate hint in the nose, taste is a little sweeter milky chocolate with a vanilla finish. Not too impressed with the mouthfeel, a little thin, but still quite nice.
