Skinner’s Cornish Knocker

Wednesday, August 26th, 2009

The other day I tried a couple of pints of Skinner’s Cornish Knocker ale and very tasty it was, with a slight tangy taste to it.

For some extra information a Knocker was a Tin Mine Fairy who lived down the mines and used to guide the miners to the rich veins of tin with their knocking.

The miners used to repay them by leaving them the crust from their pasties.
