## About

Cross Borders’ origins trace back to an illicit biscuit cartel run by our two founders in primary school. This brewery is the result of years of friendship, hard work, experience, and a refusal to grow up.

Based in leafy Midlothian, we brew braw* beer that you’ll want to drink again and again (responsibly of course!).

*BRAW adjective; great, good, excellent
