Cornish Knocker
One of the original trailblazing golden ales and still one of the most popular, consistent and selling. Often copied but never equalled.
A strong, refreshing, clean tasting golden ale, flowery & fruity hops in the mouth and malt undertones, with a clean and lasting malty, bittersweet finish.
Famously drinkable, and an original favourite among die-hard Skinner's aficionados. ABV 4.5%

Folklore
Cornish Knockers were known as the Tin Mine Fairies. They lived down the mines and used to guide the miners to the rich veins of tin with their knocking.
It is said that the miners would throw the left over crusts from their Cornish pasties into the mine to keep on the right side of the Knockers. Due to the demise of mining over the years in Cornwall the Knockers have had to find another way to earn their crusts and have come above ground, in disguise, to help with the brewing of their ales.
