Description
Established in 2017 in the most Eastern point of mainland Scotland, we brew our beers in small batches in the nautical town of Peterhead. At Brew Toon we are passionate about creating bold, adventurous craft beers, packed full of flavour and character. We strive to use local ingredients where ever possible and pride ourselves on this provenance.

Brew Toon was born out of a passion for brewing and craftsmanship in general.

Our brewery is based on a historic site in Peterhead, which was once home to "Hunter & Sons - Tanfield Brewery". This heritage is hugely important to us and massively influential in how we run our brewery today.

Can picked up at the Brew toon bar / shop in Peterheed. It pours super cloudy pineapple gold with a small bubbly white head. The aroma is ripe tropical fruits, ripe pineapple chunks, mango, peach, nectarine, coconut, Pina colada, green, weedy, dank and some floury bread. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, pithy, chalky, floury bread, peppery spice, waxy citrus peel, grapefruit, pineapple chunks, nectarine, fragrant, floral, herbal and a touch of rawness with a drying, green, rindy finish. Average body and fine, prickly carbonation. Decent tropical punch vibes, perhaps a touch raw but flavourful nonetheless.

5th best of the St Albans bus replacement crawl. Aroma of pine, biscuit, tropical fruits, pineapple and waxy. Very bitter tropical pine finish. Not really a fan of this hop but not bad.

The taste is crisp and dry initially, quite sweet, vanilla, white chocolate cheesecake, nutty, spicy, plenty of coffee grounds, slightly charred, tree bark, leather and a nip of booze with a toasty finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Interesting for sure, but I can't say I would return to it in a hurry...
