Description
Barney’s started brewing at Summerhall in July 2012 in time to supply the venue’s Royal Dick Bar for the Fringe, but Barney himself began brewing aged 16 as a brewery apprentice. After bagging a first class degree in Brewing and Distilling at Heriot Watt University and packing in a high flying career promoting rum and whisky around the world, Barney decided it was high time he started to brew his own beer.

In doing so, his immaculate microbrewery has injected new life into Edinburgh’s brewing history, not least because he’s chosen to resurrect a brewery at Summerhall where beer has been brewed off and on for three centuries.

Can thanks to Mhairi. Appearance - golden amber with a generous fluffy head. Nose - mango and guava. Light bubblegum. Taste - more mango, apricot. Light orange on the finish. Palate - light to medium bodied. Creamy through the middle. Dry but gently tapering finish. Overall - a winner, this one!
