Skinner's Brewery

A quirky character yes, from Cornish folklore, Betty Stogs was reputedly full-bodied, golden-hearted and just a little fruity. So, you can see why we chose to name our award-winning, smooth-drinking amber ale after her.

Tasting Notes: With whole-flower Celeia, Northdown and Aurora hops alongside malted barley and wheat, this is a Cornish twist on a classic smooth-drinking ale. The light malty aroma leads to a floral, even cedar taste, and a sharp tang of bitter grapefruit leaves a lasting impression; just like Betty herself…

Skinners Premium strength winter ale. Definitely one for the drinkers who like theirs fuller bodied!

Tasting Notes: 

A stand-out session beer inspired by the arrival of spring on the Cornish coast. We love this beer so much that we named it after a really big rock.

Tasting Notes: Combining the vibrant New World hops Citra, Motueka, Belma and Pacifica to give you an explosion of flavour with bright notes of orange. It’s a stand-out session beer that packs a perfectly timed delivery of juicy citrus and mellow tropical fruit balanced here with sweet pale malt and lime-burst levels of refreshment with a light toasty spice base.

A Christmas Session Ale. Light and crisp with a wonderful hoppy finish. Brewed by Fairies!

Tasting Notes: 

A combination of the highest quality wheat malt and English and American hops makes this straw coloured wheat beer deceptively easy to drink with a superb subtle citrus finish. A natural blonde of course!

Tasting Notes: 

Often copied but never equalled. Refreshing, golden beer full of life with hops all the way through. Flowery & fruity hops in the mouth and malt undertones,with clean and lasting bittersweet finish.

Tasting Notes: 

Cornish Knocker was Skinner’s first ale. It’s a golden ale brewed with Cornish water; whole-flower Celeia, Northdown and Aurora hops; malted barley and wheat; and Skinner’s unique yeast.

Tasting Notes: The taste of the delicate floral hops trails citrus with a slight pine bitterness and leaves you with a mild biscuit taste (posh ones, not your average digestive). A perfect pairing for shellfish, Thai dishes or a double cheeseburger with fries.

Invoking the spirit of Dr Frankenstein our brewers have created this delightful monster by blending English and American hops. Roasted malts give this complex bitter autumnal flavours of toast, caramel and toffee to create a smooth, warm mouthful. Prominent hop flavours are used to scare the taste buds with fruit flavours and a ghostly, bitter after taste.

Tasting Notes: 

This is the maltiest of our regular range and slightly darker in colour. Expertly balanced blend of malt & hops, premium strength, full flavoured with a smooth finish.

Tasting Notes: 

A lovely hoppy golden ale, fused with Cornish honey, gives this session beer a superb round finish with a hint of ginger. First brewed for red-headed pancake tossers!

Tasting Notes: 

Brewed with wet hops freshly harvested. A pale coloured bitter with an understated green tinge. Very well balanced yet bursting with flavour... you can almost taste the hop fields.

Tasting Notes: 

A light refreshing bitter, pale amber in colour with distinct hoppy overtones. The subtle addition of real Cornish honey will give your palate a buzzz!

Tasting Notes: 

Our golden honey beer is the perfect introduction to fine ale as it expertly balances both bitter and sweet flavours. It’s loved by dedicated drinkers too, especially among Cornwall’s shanty singers, and is made with Cornish water; whole-flower Celeia, Northdown and Aurora hops; honey; malted barley and wheat; and Skinner’s unique yeast.

Tasting Notes: Floral beneath a delicate, spicy tangerine scent with a touch of toffee. And its bittersweet finish is great for game, sausages or a chocolate fudge sundae.

Tasting Notes: 

It’s said, somewhere way down south, in a cove between St Ives and Padstow, you’ll find a perfect beach where you can spend hazy, lazy summer days lying in the warm sun with good friends and not a care in the world. And, as the sun begins to sink into the sea, the only thing that could make life any better would be a glass of cool, hop-laden pale ale. This is the feeling and the moment that Lushingtons was brewed for.

Tasting Notes: Starting with Cornish water, our brewers add whole-flower Citra, Belma and Willamette hops to create this fresh-as-a-daisy, hop-laden IPA. Bitter-sweet notes of lime, mango and lychee, a slight creaminess and a hint of juicy strawberry delivers sunshine-ready levels of refreshment.

Named after the Cornish term for sand dunes, Towans is dry hopped for a fuller flavour and crafted to deliver a clean, crisp and refreshing experience.

Tasting Notes: Dry-hopped during fermentation, Towans packs a powerful burst of fruity flavours and aromas that are deepened by the dense, frothy head. The malt that produces the distinctive head also imparts a wheat flavour that gradually cedes to a clean, citrus finish with a sharp, refreshing edge. A great session lager, and a perfect partner for spicy food and gourmet burgers.
