A taste of heather

That is very interesting thanks for that.

Leanne Fraoch - heather ale. Lovely stuff. This place brews it here in Scotland - http://www.fraoch.com/ - and it is becoming more widely available.

Well there you go, never knew there was any use for heather other than being beautiful.
The Heather is starting to bloom in Scotland and Ireland, the summer heather. It lifts the heart to see it.

Can't wait to try it.

Yeah, I knew about the heather ale but that website I first listed at the top of this thread lists all kinds of uses for heather.

Thanks Phil.
I think that's the same brewer that produces the heather ale I'm familiar with: Legends Limited: Fraoch Heather Ale.
They're a little hard to find in my neighborhood, so I grab them when I see them. I've also had their Alba Scotts Pine Ale. Legends Ltd also distributes some others I'm also on the look out to try: the Kelpie Seaweed Ale for instance, which uses seaweek (bladder rack) harvested on the Argyll coast in their ale.
I've also had the Skullsplitter Orkney Ale found on the Legends site. It's brewed by the Orkney Brewery.

Only problem is they don't export to Norway I've sent them an e-mail asking if they might be able to sell me a few bottles mail order style.

But we do get their elderberry ale (Ebulum), which is fantastic.
