Description
Futtle was brought to life in 2019 by us, Lucy & Stephen, partners in all things life, work and beer.
Now, along with a small team, we make a range of organic beers that follow the seasons here on the edges of the coastal village of St Monans, in the East Neuk of Fife.
Inspired by our love of the farmhouse brewing tradition of Northern Europe, and the Scottish coastline we look out on, we have focused on brewing and blending rustic, nourishing, natural beers that reflect our location.

Can picked up at the brewery. It pours ever so slightly hazy straw yellow with a small white head. The aroma is salty, savoury, crackers, zingy, lemon - lime, gooseberry, damp, grain, leafy and a splash of white wine vinegar. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, bright, zingy, puckering, kick of acidity, more sourness than I had I expected, lemon - lime, sherbet, tangfastics, cheap white wine, definitely has a green seaweed vibe going on, tannin, damp grain and straw with a dry, sherbety finish. Average body and moderate, prickly. Quite bright and zingy. Quenching stuff.

Can picked up at the brewery itself. It pours lightly hazy yellow - blonde with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh, bright, zingy, tangy, lemony citrus, cloudy lemonade, grapefruit, white grape, tangfastics, gooseberry fool and grape must. The taste is crispy, dry, snappy, clean, bright, twist of lemon, pomelo, white grape, gooseberry, light funk, hay, crackery malt, white bread, biscuit and some floral accents with a firmly dry finish. Light+ body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Nice nuances to it. Crisp and absolutely crushable. Love what Futtle do.
