Description
Up Front Brewing was founded in 2015 with the aim of sharing our love of exceptional beers and great artwork, with a wider audience.
Here at Up Front we have no loans, no investors, and no kickstarter funding - everything is paid for up front. We brew by renting space in other people’s breweries, with each batch paid for as it’s brewed.
We have very little in the way of overheads, which allows us to spend a considerable amount of time and effort into researching and experimenting with new yeast, bacteria, ingredients, and brewing techniques from around the world. We brew mostly out of 71 Brewing in Dundee, but also use other breweries as and when required.
Up Front has used both Drygate and Alechemy as a base.

Keg tap at BrewDog Leicester. Golden orange, clear as a bell with an almost imperceptible ring of white head. Juicy lime and orange pulp in the aroma, tempered with a touch of seawater. Taste is salty - very salty - and tart without being overly sour. I often complain that Gose style beers aren't salty enough for me... well this one is! Pineapple and passionfruit juice in the aftertaste. Loved this.
