Description
Pictish Brewing Company is a small independent brewery established in April 2000 by Richard Sutton. Early in 2013 Richard decided to opt for an easier life and skive off leaving things in the hands of his old friend Paul Wesley. We brew a wide variety of high quality cask conditioned ales and deliver direct to the licensed trade in the Lancashire, Manchester and West Yorkshire areas.

1/3 pint cask @ Craft Beer Co - Aldgate.
Dorée plutôt claire, col épais crémeux blanc.
Arôme sur un léger malté pils UK, houblonné noble finement floral - herbes sauvages, thym, sauge en flagrances et un retour tout autant plaisant du malté.
Palais sur une belle note d'amertume assez anglaise - finement herbacé, fourrage/foin avec une petite note de thé en infusion. Le tout rehaussé par une balance maltée.

The 'Warrior' Kyren Wilson has just been whitewashed by Shaun Murphy in their snooker match in China today. This 'warrior' is a golden-blonde wash in colour. Nice and hoppy as you expect from a single hop brew, and with a session strength and texture.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 20th September 2025. Clear gold with shallow whitish foam and scant lacing. Light fruity aroma. Nutty malts and zesty citrus peel in-mouth, and a finish of grassy bitterness alongside citrus zest. Medium to full bodied with an engaging texture.

Fra cask på Craft Beer Co, Covent Garden: lett uklar gylden med fint skum som varer lenge. Florale toner, litt urter og gress. Lett bitterhet med ganske tørr avslutning.

The first thing I ate today, on Good Friday was a Hot Cross Bun - only as one was available in my bread bin, nothing ritualistic involved. Pictish however are very ritualistic about their single hopped beers, and as I've had so many of them from them, it always surprises me when one pops that's new, especially an established hop like this one. It's a lovely hoppy brew too, nice and clean tasting, also a session ale.

Oldham Beer Festival 2025, beer number 2 of the afternoon. Clear golden, strongish on paper but its crispness hides much of this. Hopped beer with hints of fruit.
