About
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.

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 5.5
Keg at Cold Town. It pours dark brown with a small beige head. The aroma is sweet, sticky, roasty, definite chocolate cake, gateaux and cake frosting. The taste is pretty sweet upfront, sticky, toothy, chocolate fo sho, cola, touch of vanilla, touch of Dr Pepper, toasty malts and dull char with a shirt, sweetish finish. Light to medium body and fine carbonation. A bit sweet and one dimensional. Fair.
