)typically Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Had a pint of Williams Bros Cock o the Walk earlier. The Cask version is much more viscous and full flavoured than the bottles, which I find to be a bit watery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
)typically Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Bottle of Trooper from Robinsons. Cracking session beer for the Summer months. Bruce Dickinson from iron maiden is a real ale enthusiast and was involved in the production. Robinson's Trooper is currently on cask at the Bon Accord for those who are interested.

Not so keen on Fraoch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gried 5 or possibly 6 if the one at the top with the lady in the bikini is the one I think it is. That looks like a decent beer festival gy, I hope the Grimsby regulars appreciate your efforts the anchorage in leverburgh on isle of harris has mcewans 60/- on draught. this might not excite you big city types with your 100 tap ale houses but never seen it before. McEwans 60/- is my beer of choice. It's sold in my local in Troon (always has been) and is a mere £2 a pint. Love it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLip69 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Was up in Scotland a couple of weeks ago and got a few nice beers from Aldi's, William Wallace was good, as was Trooper, Theakstons Old Peculier was excellent. My Daughter got me a few of bottles of McEwans Champion Ale at Fathers Day. Better than I thought it would be it was 7.3ABV and I generally find strong beers are more about the strength than the taste, but this had a decent flavour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another strong 'un that's more about the taste is Broughton Old Jock, around 6.6%. Try that if you get a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philpy Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 anyone suggest any good ale shops near glasgow city centre? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Patterson Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 anyone suggest any good ale shops near glasgow city centre? The Good Spirits Company in Bath Street has a big selection of stuff. Alternatively if you're willing to take a 5 minute subway ride out to Kelvinbridge there's also The Cave and Quel Vin (though it's changed name very recently and I can't remember what it's called now) which are not even a minutes walk to either side of the subway exit. Hippo Beers in Queen Margaret Drive is decent too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy it on hte WB website but I don't fancy buying a whole crate, although 20quid odd is decent for 12 bottles. You can get Roisin in Aldi pretty often. They've got their Scottish Ale Festival on just now too so worth a swatch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
