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.

33cl bottle from Beers52.com. A hazy pale amber pour with a billowing cream head; aroma of toasted grains; creamy texture and a sweet taste with that marmite-like savouriness I associate with Sorachi hops; and a slightly rasping bitterness leading to a sweet finish. Not bad.

On cask at the Southern. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - fruit salad. Melon and mandarin and apple. Taste - more of the same. Orange coming through strongest. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - probably the best I’ve had from Barney.
