Description
Speyside Brewery is based in Moray Speyside, the heart of Scotland's malt whisky country. More than 50 distilleries are within a 30-mile radius of the brewery, using the same water for their iconic whiskies that we use to make our beer.

Founded by chemistry student Seb Jones in November 2012, the brewery produces a varied core range of beers - named after local
icons - as well as popular seasonal beers. We are proud to make them.

Brewery closed in 2020. Relaunched in Summer 2023 with a different beer lineup.

On keg at the Guildford Arms. Appearance - golden and hazy. Nice lacy head. Nose - apples and lemon. Then a touch of pineapple. Taste - definitely getting into the tropical this time. Still citrus going on too. Palate - light to medium bodied. Creamy texture. Dry slightly resiny finish. Overall - possibly the best I've had from these guys, but the numbers will probably prove or disprove that one.

Clear, lively golden beer with a decent white head.Zesty citrus aroma. Taste is tart, bitter tropical fruit and a dry, hoppy aftertaste. It's crisp, airy and refreshing. Decent.
