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.

Monday, 1st April 2024; Monthly gathering in Chez Sophie, Shrewsbury. Five guys with beers to share and stories to tell. 440ml can, hazy golden amber, off-white topping. Cinder toffee in the nose and taste, slight woody, whisky traces but the taste is dominated by the caramel sweetness really. I liked it!

440ml can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, April 24. Hazed amber, off white head. A definite wee heavy undercurrent here alongside the toffee, with a gentle whisky influence making a fleeting appearance, soft peaty notes. Quite nice but not a huge barrel-aged effect.

The first beer from this Glasgow brewery that I've tried. Brilliant stuff! Lots of Brett, lots of zesty clementine. Super well balanced.

Can from the Paisley Beer Festival. Appearance - cloudy amber brown. Frothy off white head. Nose - whisky, wood, caramel and sultana. Taste - Muesli, sweet whisky and flapjacks. Palate - medium bodied, sweet and still resudual sweetness. Overall - didn't get the expected peaty whisky, more like Highland to be honest. Still maybe that's a good thing.
