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.

On tap @ Thomson’s Bar. Pours golden, slightly hazy with a decent head. The nose has hay and some meadow flowers. The taste has more of the floral thing but with a lemon zing on the end. The palate is medium bodied with a light to medium texture and a nice refreshing finish. Overall, very drinkabale indeed.
