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.

Pump clip was not informative, but I asssume this is brewed by Tryst, as the bottled version supposedly is.
Cask @ Guildford Arms. Clear golden colour, white head. Aroma is grainy, and a bit hoppy. Flavour is grainy, slightly hoppy. Very light bodied. Something did not go well here.
