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.

Can from The Beerhive. Clear amber body with a thin white head. Steady carbonation. Patchy lacing. Aroma of pine, rust, pineapple yoghurt, nettles and marmalade. Flavour of blood orange (which I always seem to associate with Chinook - not sure if it’s used or not), tomato juice and a hint of nail varnish. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Quite hot for 6.0% ABV. I was expecting better based on previous reviews. One to revisit perhaps.
