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.

25/3/2023. Can from The New Inn, Colchester. Shared at SBGP1. Pours clear golden orange with a frothy off-white head. Aroma of passionfruit, citrus, salt, light herb, hint of raspberry. Moderate sweetness and sourness, quite salty. Moderate body, slightly oily, average carbonation. Dry salty finish. Interesting.
