Kelburn Cart Blanche is named after Paisley's river, the White Cart Water. This golden full-bodied 5% abv ale boasts smacks of flavour. The appearance is enhanced by a touch of wheat malt, giving good head retention.

Danny Matheson, Chairman of the Renfrewshire Branch CAMRA commented: The worthy winner was Cart Blanche from Kelburn. This is an extremely prestigious and sought after award. I'm sure everyone will join me in congratulating Derek and the team on their best award yet.
