Beer?

[threebikesmcginty]

A gift from my elder daughter who shares a flat with a Brewing post-grad (which was bloody news to me!) who apparently "is always bringing beer back to the flat..." I can see more frequent visits to my delightful daughter will be required next term View attachment 74222

Will she be making an honest man of him? And don't forget a pre-nup stating the FIL gets half the beer.

The two brothers who've just opened a craft brewery just up the road from me are Herriot-Watt brewing grads: http://www.mackinnonbrewing.com/

And they do seem to be far more conventionally 'British' in their syle than Stone City Ales, which also opened in the past year. However they seem to be starting to produce some more adventurous things, like the recent Peppermint Stout (better than it sounds) and their American Amber Crosscut Ale.

Bottle of Old Hooky for me, a mighty fine beer, consistently excellent, lovely colour, perfect carbonation, nice malty bitter finish.

Don't say that too loud, I'll get told off.

Her name is Anoushka and she hails from Mumbai.

Oh, and her beer is very good.

Did your autocorrect change Moscow to Mumbai?
Can't two women get married in Scotland these days? What a terribly backward country

I'm indulging in a Long Man brewery American Pale Ale - a regular cheap-ish fave.

That must have been a tidy investment. Comical photo of them bashing the rocks with sledgehammers too - respect!
Are they Canadians?

She also went round by Crombie's the butcher for some Innis and Gunn sausages (which used to be called Edinburgh Ale sausages before Innis and Gunn became hipster beer chaps). Beer and Sausages, genius.

Perhaps anyone who happens to have a relative in the butchery business might want to pass it on as a good idea - Harvey's Ale sausages, for example. If only we knew someone who fitted the bill...

Indeed they are, but like a lot of folks in this part of Ontario, Canadians of Scottish descent. They don't seem to have updated their site for a while, but perhaps that's because they are spending all their time making beer...
