There's nothing better at this time of year than a nice chocolatey Porter - warms the cockles., so it does

In my failed quest to find a NZ beer I found (and am now enjoying) this:
And it's actually really nice

After many others on here mentioned this I thought I'd try some:
And it actually tastes really strong compared to my last drink - nice though

It's not that it tastes strong... it's strong in flavour

Awh. I'm like a proud parent at their kids first day at school.
I got mine as part of the 4 for £6 deal today at Tesco's.
I also tried the Elbow (the band) beer called 'build a rocket boys!'. It was a actually OK. Very weak at 4% though.

My local tesco has a poor beer selection, my normal pickups are multiples of old crafty hen and kinggoblin

anyone recommend a nice Scotch Ale?
I assume that this is for a present Ray?
The only Scottish brewery which I can think of which would do a decent, and interesting 60/70 or 80 shilling would be Orkney Brewery.
I've had a Wee Heavy from Alesmith before and I recall it being good. But you'll probably struggle to get hold of any.
Belhaven's 80 Shilling would probably be the best bet for something that is commonly available.
Edit
OH MY GOD. I totally forgot. Brewdog now do a Scotch Ale, called San Diego. If it's for a present then it'll be pretty special and they won't have had it before. Personally, I think that it sounds awful (oak aged and beer soaked raisins go into the fermenter...) but it says Scotch Ale on the box/bottle. Very different to anything I mentioned above.
Oh, Brewdog website sells Wee Heavy but it's £15 for 750ml. Their San Diego sells for £11.

Yeah, it's a present to an American
So, Brewdog Scotch Ale...can that be found most supermarkets?

If it's a present, then I really wouldn't bother with anything but that to be honest. Be a bit of a waste of time/money/effort sending anything else over. It's all a bit 'meh' to be honest. Plus, Scotch Ale is quite a broad description. Most people won't know what it is like they understand Porter (Stout), IPA or bitter for example.
Now, how are you actually going to get some. No, you won't find it in any supermarket. There'll be a shop in your city which sells some I'm sure. I'll be going into my booze shop tomorrow who should have it so I can check their price/availability. They'll sell over the phone (they don't do online sales) and send it to you. You could order from the Brewdog site direct but last time I checked their postage was lolworthy.
Let me check Tesco/ASDA online and see what they have for sale in terms of 'Scotch' ale. To clarify, you want something in the Scotch Ale style rather than a Scottish beer?
Edit - There doesn't seem to be any 'Scotch Ales' on Tesco/ASDA online though I'm sure I've seen Belhaven being sold in store before. If you are just after Scottish beers then buy whatever Brewdog and/or Innes and Gunn they have.
