FOOD MATCHING
Most pork dishes will work well with the hops. Roast pork, pork loin and belly pork are perfect. The light fragrant flavours of South East Asian cuisine will perfectly match the citrusy notes in the beer. White fish and shellfish always works with the tropical fruit flavours exhibited in some hops. The acidity will cut through oily fish and complement the delicate flavour of shellfish and molluscs (mussels, scallops). Go for fresher spring ingredients as accompaniments/sides.
Pub Grub: Pulled Pork Roll, Crispy Chilli Prawns, Chicken, Bacon and Avocado Sandwich.
Pub Dining: Eggs Royale, Gravadlax, Moules (in a spicy coconut milk based sauce), Courgette and Lemon Risotto, Coronation Chicken Salad, Thai Crab Cakes.
Gastro/Fine Dining: Pan Fried Scallops with Lime and Coriander, Steamed Sea Bass with a Thai style dressing, Coquilles St Jacques.

INFORMED BY TRADITION
AND CRAFTED WITH EXPERIENCE
For the past year, Andrew Leman and his team of four Heriot-Watt-trained brewers have been experimenting, developing and tinkering with different malts, hop varieties and styles of beer in our five-brewer’s-barrels micro-brewery. They’re excited to announce three small-batch, special edition beers.
Poulter’s Porter, Cook Lane and Hopical Storm are contemporary, full-flavour beers with the timeless and inimitable Taylor’s Taste.
