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 at home. Hazy golden colour with white head aroma and taste are tangy tropical fruity sour with a nice salty kick. Rich tangy body. This had been in the beer fridge for a while and was worth the wait.

Can. Hazy deep amber beer, decent pale tan head. Palate is airy and slightly soft, reasonable fine carbonation. Soft malts, soft creamy malts with a nice light caramel. The red wine barrel is a light touch, but still there is oaky vanilla and modest winey red berries. Far more obvious is the dates and the figs, a rounded ripe fruity richness with obvious date on the back end. Finishes smooth. A nicely conceived barleywine with layered flavours. A bit more more ooomph would not have gone amiss.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 15/01/23. Hazed mahogany to chestnut brown with a beige cap that veers to the edge. Nose is dark malts, herb, spice, dates, toffee, nutty, light booze. Taste comprises fruit cake, spice, toffee, booze, dates, brown sugars, vinous notes. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a spike of alcohol. Ok sipper but just comes over a little tired.
