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.

Fresh on at The Flying Horse Hotel in Rochdale, and nice and crisp in its initial pour. Hoppy in the main, perhaps hints of fruit but flavoursome regardless.

Cask from The Wellington, Birmingham. Dark clear gold with nice off white top, good lacing. Quite bitter and leafy but there is enough sweetness and fruitiness (lemon and berry notes) to ensure its not astringent. Medium bodied, goes down well. Decent.

Cask @ Fox And Goose, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a creamy head. Pleasantly textured mostly hoppy ale, some creaminess hence the night mouthfeel, hints of fruit.

Medium bodied smooth & dry. Stone fruit, grapefruit, pithy & bitter hop tastes. Cracking Cask.

Hand-pulled pint at the Wrekin Inn on 25th August 2024. As the name suggests, it's golden in colour, the head a solid white affair. All a bit subtle to be honest, light citrus leaning on a bed of pale malts, slightly disappointing.

Cask at CPK, Pimlico on 8th June 2024. Clear yellowy gold with shallow off-white foam and spot lacing. Malty aroma with fruitiness. Nutty maltiness in-mouth with cherry fruits, earthy pungencies and a leafy hop transient. A lasting finish of nutty malts. Light bodied with a smooth mouthfeel.

Two hand-pulled pints at the Wrekin Inn on Saturday 8th June 2024. Clean and clear pale amber body, white crown. Tropical/citrussy nose and taste, oranges and grapefruit in equal measures initially, good body depth and tasty, hence having a second pint!
