Just an update- I tried the Alba Scots Pine Ale and was very impressed with its flavor and presentation. Scots Pine Ale is made with spruce and pine sprigs and the flavor is very mellow. Initially, it reminded me of berries.

The brewer recommends serving this beer at room temperature, after a meal, and in a wine glass. If you enjoy Guiness and similar brews, you would most likely enjoy the Scots Pine Ale.

I am a fan of Innis & Gunn, it is very much an acquired taste, being aged in oak barrels. Most of it is aged in used bourbon barrels but I see they now have some aged in used rum barrels, which should have an interesting flavor.

Tenants!!!!

It is pure liquid gold! I first tried it while vacationing in Scotland... finally found it here in Canada in a pub in Niagara-on-the-Lake (wine country of all places!).

A Canadian brewery makes a "scottish theme" beer called "Mclays"... it's cheaper than big brand beer but tastes good enough to actually drink!
