Description
Loch Lomond Brewery started life in our kitchen in Luss on the shores of Loch Lomond.
A desire to brew beer and create a family business that would allow the whole family to get involved we started in 2011 in Alexandria.
Now having brewed a number of award winning beers including CAMRA Champion Beer of Scotland in 2017 and SIBA Supreme Cask Champion of the UK in 2016, we have recently rebranded to include a number of new beers in cask, keg, bottle and can.
Still brewing on our original 10bbl kit our passion has not faded - in fact we are probably more fanatical now about our existing beers and new recipes than ever before.

Bottle at Chriso Tasting, London. Pours clear, yellow-gold with a weak, white cream head. Very basic beer. Light pale malt nose, faint straw. Light sweet flavor, some lemon rind. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly dry to finish, clean, with faint grassy bitterness. Decent, just basic.

Cask @ Benleva Hotel, Drum
Very dark brown, thin ruby edges, thin tan head, some lacing
Aroma - Wholemeal bread, dark roasted malts, cocoa powder...I’m getting Hovis bread here (?!)
Taste - deep dark caramel malts, soft dark roast, quite chocolatey, plain chocolate, dark molasses, some dark fruits in there, touch of earthy malt, complex, nice flavour
Palate - soft carb, medium body, smooth texture. Finish of chocolate malts, soft bitter roast, smooth
Overall - Great stout with a lot of flavour, liked the unusual brown bread aroma too
