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.

Cask, gravity at Merton Beer Festival, 16-07-10 Pale gold in colour with white head, good clarity, crisp dry and refreshing, some light grapefruit touches on the nose. I have recollections of the Mikkeller Warrior when I drink this, not that they’re at all similar but because I described the Mikkeller ’single hop Warrior’ as very workmalike and clearly its more functional than some of the sexier varieties. It has to be said that people like Pictish and Mikkeller get the most out of this variety, its never going to be a world beater but its damn tasty, refreshing, dry, crisp, tangy, bitter and just lovely, no fancy dan aromas, nor incredible flavours, but what it does it does well, and that is be a very drinkable tasty, golden beer and for that it gets an extra point on the overall score.

Cask at Ealing beer festival. A pale golden/straw coloured pour with a smallish head. Nice hoppy, floral aroma. Tastes fresh, malty, hoppy, citrus fruit, dry, crisp, bitter. Lingering aftertaste that makes you want more. Always reach for Pictish when I see it, lovely stuff.
