What to Wear when brewing a Scottish Ale?

A kilt, of course! Also, wore my Christmas present, a Guinness Extra Stout hat to make sure no highland bitties made it into the beer from off my head.



And, the white Guinness shirt (also a present) was a bonus, as the bleach I use to sanitize my brew equipment won't stain the white shirt.

I was brewing my Doggie Dubh Wee Heavy. Almost a month to ferment, then a couple of weeks in the bottle, being at least 10% alcohol, it should be ready just in time for the frigid nights of February.

Of course, if you're brewing it helps to have a couple of assistants. Here's my daughter, in a kilted mini:


And here's Hosehead with her new Guinness cap:

Too funny. I am about to do up a batch of india pale ale and am wearing my clan tartan. You daughter is adorable.

Hey Joel,

I got drunk a lot and rolled in the doggie dubh, but never drunk any.

The dog picture is marketable somewhere...what a shot! Good thing dogs don't speak English.

Cute kid too. Don't blink, they grow up fast and make you a granddad before you realize it. Mine's 37 now...what happened?

Great shots Joel, especially your able bodied assistant (what a cutie).

That is OUTSTANDING!!! I think I'm ordering one of your Doggie Dubh shirts for my brother... now where do I get me hands on the beer??

I'm glad to hear you like it. I think that's my favorite of the shirts I've done.

Obviously, the No Bucks Brewery can't sell beer, as we have no money for the kind of permits that are required for that sort of thing. If you're a homebrewer, you can follow the recipe on my Beer page and brew some for yourself. Just make sure you observe the disclaimer: "Warning: High Alcohol Content: Consuming one bottle may result in an overwhelming urge to sleep. Consuming two bottles may result in a domestic disturbance."

As I've noted in another post, anyone who shows up at my house in a kilt gets a free beer! Although, Marquette is a long way to come from California just for beer.

I know what you mean. My other daughter is 13, with a teenager's attitude to go with the age, and it seems like only a couple of birthdays ago that she was my cute little Baby Beans.

Anyone want to do a kilted homebrew exchange?
