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.

330ml bottle (bottle conditioned): BBD Sep 15, poured into a ’Good People’ (Birmingham, Alamabama) badged pint sleeve, to make it feel like a true American Pale Ale, at home on 31 Oct 14. This beer was shared with no one. Lager like in looks in the body, clear golden with carbonation bubbles rising to a full, deep white blanket of foam. Nose and taste are hop sentric, with a bitterness from the start. Can not say it erupts like a volcano, but it certainly has a hop kick throughout and whatever malt content there is has been melted by the hop lava. I liked it, my sweet tooth aside, it floated my boat.
