a braw ale

[andy m]

it seems that the micro brewerys are doing well these days. most stores have a good selection of fine bottled ales. i try to taste a new one often and have found some cracking beers. was wondering what good ales have yous lads and lassies tried that is worth trying . i have noticed as well that some of the beers have a good dunt to them 6/vol and higher in some cases. i used to like a strong ale called fowlers wee heavy but think its no longer brewed, cheers andy m

If you are in the Callendar area or passing through call in at the Lade Inn- just north of Callendar at Kilmahog it can be seen on your left. Open from 12 noon they have an extensive selection of Scottish real ales to browse in a little shop beside the inn.
Get there soon, the inn is up for sale. They are also online, but shipping costs, whilst reasonable considering, may put you off.

Definitely not a fighting beer!! One large bottle and I go to sleep very happily.

Actually, it's hard to find a bad one these days. Bottled ale has come a long way.   Alex put me on to this one, it is very nice.

The joker IPA is my joint favourite along with Caesar Augustus also by Williams brothers, it's a lager IPA hybrid (so the bottle says) and its nectar!
