Description
Closet Brewing is an Edinburgh-based nano-brewery run by two queer women (and our tiny dog).
Our emphasis is on quality vegan beers, queer community and keeping a local-minded, outgoing approach at the centre of our mission.
We use unique flavours and innovative techniques to create beers that are, at their heart, a lot of fun.

Can from Westhill Service Station. This one is 6.6% with wai-iti, sabro, Citra and Idaho 7. It pours hazy golden - blonde with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, smooth, tropical fruits, juicy, pineapple chunks, green coconut, doughy floury white bread, pic n mix and jelly tots. The taste is smooth, slick, quite thick, green, weedy, dank, spring onions, fairly sweet, ripe tropical fruits, mango, tinned peach, pineapple, coconut milk and limited alcohol presence. Finish is quite short actually and mellow milk. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent, but lacks her wow factor. Aroma nice though. Happy to drink, but doesn't stand out in the hazy crowd.
