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 @ Kelham Island Tavern. Blonde. The aroma is loaded with ginger. Citric, very gingery flavor. I hate ginger, and that effects the rating.

Cask handpull at The Star Inn, Huddersfield. Pale gold, lasting cream head. Good hoppy beer, bit of yeast, faint diacetyl. But you know what it’s pretty decent, decent hop, good bitterness. Bit of butter. Decent

Cask gravity at Reading BF 09. I approached this with some trepidation as Chris brought it back to the table. Clear pale gold, thin white head. The agavve is noticeable on aroma, but not unpleasant. OK in mouth, quite hoppy just not very stingy on finish. Bit lacking in malts. Very stingy on tongue. Sweet. Just not sure.
