Description
Scotland has a deeply fascinating history when it comes to brewing and we wanted to pay homage to these roots when creating our name. Calton Hill Brewery in Edinburgh was the first brewery in Britain to create lager way back in 1835. The small suburb that the brewery called it’s home earned the name Cauld Toon as it sat directly in the in the cold shadow of Arthur’s Seat. Over time, this colloquially became Cal-ton. Carlton Hill could therefore be known as Cold Town Hill, and suddenly our name was born.

Ever - growing white head left a cornet on a highly carbonated pale golden coloured body. Spiced, wheat & hoppy aroma. Medium bodied, airy & extremely effervescent in the back. Cereal, confectionery, lemon & wheat tastes with a lightly hopped sweet finish. Standard.
