Skinner's Brewery

Cornish Knocker, 12 x 500ml Bottle Case

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.

TASTE 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.

INSPIRATION

Knockers were tin-mine-dwelling folk who would knock to lead miners to the richest seams, so long as the miners left them a little of their pasties when they ate. Nowadays, we’re pretty sure they can occasionally be heard in local pubs, knocking on the bottles to guide drinkers to the malty golden ale that bears their name. Just remember to leave a sip behind for them.

ARTIST

The Knocker himself has been re-imagined by Joe McLaren, an artist who has worked widely in newspapers and publishing, illustrating the work of such luminaries as Lewis Carroll, Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, George Orwell, Carsten Jensen, Andrew Motion and John Betjeman.

Price includes 3-5 working day delivery to anywhere in mainland UK.

Portheven 4.8% alc 500ml

Porthleven is a CAMRA-winning premium, fresh, hoppy pale ale for modern palates, made with Cornish water; whole-flower Northdown, Citra and Mount Hood hops; malted barley and wheat; and Skinner’s unique yeast. Straw-coloured and zesty, with strong citrus aromas, starting with a zip of lemon and lime in the mouth, and ending with a flash of passion fruit. Brings out the best in spicy food, smoked meats and kebabs.

Lushingtons 4.2% alc 500ml

Lushingtons is a cool, hop-laden IPA brewed using traditional methods with Cornish water; whole-flower Citra, Belma and Willamette hops; malted barley and wheat; and Skinner’s unique yeast. Bursting with fruit, within its bittersweet scent you’ll pick up lime and mangoes with a little lychee. Its creamy texture contains a slight strawberry finish, enjoy with white meats, fish or a 99.

Betty Stogs 4.0% alc 500ml

Betty Stogs is an award-winning, copper-coloured bitter brewed since 1997 using Cornish water; whole-flower Celeia, Northdown and Aurora hops; malted barley and wheat; and Skinner’s unique yeast. Copper-coloured, with a light malty aroma, a floral, even cedar taste, and a sharp tang of bitter grapefruit, this is an ale that has the strength of character to take on tasty dishes like stews, hard cheeses and meat-packed pasties. In 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. Especially as both Bettys are often to be found at the centre of a good party. Join us in raising a glass to Betty Stogs – truly the Queen of Cornish ales.

Price includes 3-5 working day delivery to anywhere in mainland UK.

INSPIRATION

Named in honour of Cornwall’s iconic surfing break, this fine, strong pale ale is as refreshing as the fine ocean spray hitting your face as you ride the perfect wave. Only you get to enjoy it without even getting your feet wet.

ARTIST

Stevie Gee has given Porthleven a makeover. He’s an underground artist who has designed book jackets, tees and music videos for the likes of Paul Smith, Vans, Penguin and Archie Bronson Outfit.

Inspiration

It’s said, somewhere way down south, in a cove between St Ives and Padstow, you’ll find a perfect beach. Here you can spend hazy, lazy Summer days lying in the sun with good friends and not a care in the world. 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 place and the moment that Lushingtons was brewed for.

A hazy fruit cider with pineapple, chilli and ginger

4.0% abv 

Sweet with juicy pineapple with a fiery ginger kick, followed by a gently chilli heat to finish. Pure pineapple juice, pressed root ginger and natural chilli extract. Naturally hazy, and easy drinking at four per cent ABV. Brings out the best in barbeque food, fish finger sandwiches and prawns. 

Spisa Mor is Cornish for Spice Sea.  Cornwall has traded with people around the world for centuries, with spices and other exotic goods landing in its ports and being used in local foods even before the Romans landed in Britain. This unique cider honours our Cornish heritage of openness and innovation, and captures the feel of sunny, palm-lined beaches. If a tropical island holiday had a taste, this would be it.

Prices include 3-5 working day delivery to UK mainland address.

4.5% abv Hazy Medium Still Cider

A gently medium hazy cider using traditional craft cider techniques, hazy from the addition of pure cloudy English apple juice. Well rounded with a sharp apple finish. Made with a blend of traditional cider and desert apples. Lyonesse delivers an immediate, exhilarating hit with the bite of tangy English apples, following through with bittersweet, buzzy notes of ripening autumn fruit. Brings out the best in blue cheese, sausages and crumble.

To stand on the tip of Land’s End and look out towards the Isles of Scilly is to view the remains of a once- thriving kingdom. Its name was Lyonesse, the drowned land lost beneath the restless tides beyond Cornwall’s windswept  cliffs. It is said you can still hear the bells of the submerged city ringing during rough seas and through the haze and mist.
