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, Crescent, Salford. Clear gold with a thin white head. Superb fragrant fresh grassy hop aroma with bags of juicy citrus, that continued into the flavour which was clean, crisp and hoppy, with melon and slight spice notes. Lingering bitter finish. Great springtime brew.

Cask at the Hobgoblin, Reading. Amber with a thin loose white head; aroma of honey, citrus and grain; flavour is of honey, lightly toasted grains and a fresh nettley herbal bitterness; leading to a long gingery finish. It works for me, very drinkable.
