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.

Cask at Tamworth Beer Fest. Cllear copper.gpls..thinnest white band. Aroma is grainy. Slightly citrusy. Flavourwise it has citrus and grains with a syrupy streak and spice. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. OK.
