Watneys Scotch Ale

[MacMullen]

The only other scotch ale I've tried is Gordon's while in Belgium, it was much more bitter than Watney's. I've been wanting to give McEwan's a try, but it's expensive (comparitavely). There's also Dirty Bastard, a couple places carry that, but I haven't tried that yet, either. I'll see if I can find Belhaven, too. I see I'll be busy over Christmas break! ;)

Sam Adams makes a good Scotch Ale too. White's has Dirty Bastard for about $7/6 pack. It's pretty good, and the label is an amusing read.

Auch! Yeh've nary had such a bonnie taste of heav'n since pullin' yer mouth off yer mammy's teet. With more highland bitties and flavours than yer grandmammy's haggis, Dirty Bastard Ale ain't fer the wee lads. And if it's too strong fer yer silk-wearin', poodle-walkin' ****, then it's back to the loch with you, nessy!" -- Dirty Bastard Ale label

My next beer brewing project is going to be either a Scottish Ale or a Wee Heavy Ale. It should be ready after Christmas. When it's finished, I'll let you know, if you want to sample it. Anyone who stops by in a kilt gets a free Scotch Ale.

Macmullen,

That sounds like a heck of an offer! But do you also have a spare room for me to crash in after I start paying for the subsequent drinks and can't drive the 6 hours back home? :grin:

[MacMullen]

Absolutely! C'mon up!

I'm true to the promise on my labels - "Return the empty bottle and receive another full bottle."

Oh yeah, and I almost forgot - I bought thistle glasses this summer too, so we can drink our Scotch Ale out of the proper glass.

I just racked my Irish Stout to the secondary this afternoon too, so if I can get some homebrew overlap, I should have some of that too. Plus, I think my wife is planning to buy me another one of the Brewer's Gold kits as one of my Christmas presents. I told her to buy me something that I've never brewed before.

Although, after I brew my Wee Heavy, I'll be just over the 100 gallon homebrewing limit for the year. Don't tell the Feds! ;)

I'd love to! Thanks very much

This afternoon I broke down and bought a six-pack of Dirty Bastard. It's pretty good, a little stronger than Gordon's. Next six-pack I get will be McEwans.

I went to Econo's, White's, and the Vineyard checking prices, since they have the best selection, and Econo's is generally cheaper, but Whites and the Vineyard have a few things that Econo's doesn't. The Vineyard has single bottles of Elderberry ale I want to try (Eblun Elderberry Black, I think, but I'm having trouble reading my own handwriting.)



And on a completely unrelated note, yay for 100 posts! It took me a while, but I finally did it! I think most of them have been in the last few months.
