A new beer for me...

[Riverkilt]

Not only is the kilt pleated in front its one of the most schizophrenic tartans I've ever seen.

The brew is made by Four Peaks Brewing Company here in Arizona. If you like the logo and want a t-shirt or sweatshirt here's the website for their merchandise. http://www.fourpeaks.com/merchandise.asp

They plastered the Phoenix Highland Games with advertising signs. I wanted one bad...but just didn't wanna rip one down. Ayn (I think) was kind enough to purloin one for me so if arrested my charges would only be receiving stolen property rather than theft.

Interestingly the company is named for the Four Peaks visible to the East from Phoenix. A very very very remote area of Arizona where bubonic plague and bears hang out. Its still very common for naive hikers and hunters to find themselves in deep doo-doo up on the Four Peaks.

If it were me in charge of Four Peaks Brewing's advertising the logo would have a bear paw reaching out and lifting the kilt...

Whoa!!!

All you rabble with bars in your basement check this out.

They have a Kiltlifter tin sign for a mere $25.00 Seems like a "must have" for any kilties home bar.



Here's where to order up one.

sounds like a Wee Heavy ale. I have not seen it in NY. I should like to try it.

How would it compare with Belhavens' wee heavy ale? (if you've ever had it)

It's a bit like that - doesn't have the nutty flavors that Belhaven's got, though.

I wanted to order a shirt but they don't make it easy for non-residents. There is a tab on the order page that says Other countries, but they later insist on putting a state in. Not terribly helpful for the northern brethren. I don't want my stuff to go to Alabama or Washington, but there doesn't seem to be much choice. Maybe someone in Arizona can act as a postal service?

I'd be happy to help out....

I'm suprised there isn't a copyright or trade mark infringement here. Pike Brewing of Seattle has been brewing Kilt Lifter Scottish Style Ale since 1990. It looks like Four Peaks started in 1998. Ah well, there's always room for more beer!!!

Ron I have one of those metal signs on the wall of my back patio, didn't cost $25 either a bar I use to work at was closing and the owner gave me the sign for free.

Another good Beer I've come across is Innis & Gunn

Its an Edinburgh ale aged in whisky casks...that is the same casks in which whisky had been aged.
