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.

Hand-pulled pint on Sunday 18th February 2024, The Wrekin Inn. Clean golden body, white crown. The Calypso hops give their citrussy and apple/pear aroma and taste to this single hop brew. Pleasant enough.

Cask @ The Baum, Rochdale. Golden with a small head. Quite a robust tasting hop with a malty-bready-bitterness here despite a session strength.
