    My favorite beer is of the root variety. Baumeister is brewed up in Kewanee, WI, if memory serves. My favorite brew is actually either Scottish Breakfast Tea or Irish Breakfast Tea.

    Green Flash makes a double porter called Black Ale. Absolutely fabulous, rich and almost oily. Talk about a beer you can chew! Guinness is completely overrated IMHO. Only problem is that the Green Flash may be a seasonal. .. Stone Smoked Porter is an alternative, also Wreck Alley.

    I'll have to try it. Sometimes Guinness is the only stout you can find.

    Oh absolutely, sometimes I feel lucky that Guinness is on offer. Half the time I ask "what's your darkest beer" and the server suggests an IPA!

    (1) Fat Tug IPA. Love those Cascadia hops--the wonderful orange marmalade flavour and the clean, bitter twist.
    (2) Limited Edition Innis & Gunn Canadian Cherrywood Finish Scottish Oak Aged Beer. Rich, smooth, very strong and very flavourful. Not for the "lite" beer fans out there. This is a real kilt lifter.

    EPITAPH: Decades from now, no one will know what my bank balance looked like, it won't matter to anyone what kind of car I drove, nor will anyone care what sort of house I lived in. But the world will be a different place, because I did something so mind bafflingly eccentric that my ruins have become a tourist attraction.

    Duvel. Based on a recipe brewed by Trappist monks for over a thousand years. Spring water, Scottish hops. Meticulous craftsmanship. Not always easy to find, but worth the hunt.

    Scottish hops? I would be very interested to know where Scottish hops are grown.

    Perhaps he meant this (from the linked website)

    "The original yeast strain, which Victor Moortgat himself selected in the 1920’s, originates from Scotland." Hops are reportedly Slovenian and Czech.

    You might have either a new crop or a new excercise regimine with Scottish Hops.

    If you cannot fix it, mess it up so bad that no one else can either.
