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 @ D’Ale, Rochdale. Golden with a creamy head. It’s a hoppy session brew at its clean tasting best. House ale of the D’Ale micropub in Rochdale town centre. Possibly a rebadge.

Hand-pulled half-pint in The Station Hotel, Oakengates on 2nd Aug 2021.Creamy white head on an amber body, clean and clear. The Jester hops give off earthy, piney and slight citrussy esters in the nose and provide the bitterness in the flavour, decent!

Cask at the Great British Beer Festival 2017, day one - London. Pours clear yellow with a frothy, white head. The. nose holds dry pale malts, straw, vague citrus. Light sweet flavour with some grassy bitterness, dirty hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation; decent condition. Finishes with more grassy hops, crunchy grains. Good stuff.

Can at home, from CW online, 01/12/20. Clear golden amber with a decent off white head that retains well. Nose is malt forward, caramel, grains, bread dough. Taste comprises caramel, bread, hint of orange, malted bite, biscuit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a moderate level of bitterness. Could well be a new recipe looking at the origin of the beer ... perhaps not ... looks like a 'my first IPA' love in back then ... more a malt forward affair now akin to an English strong. Ok offering ... nothing I'd return to.
