The **Now Drinking** Thread

Scotch Ale is what I've been asked but anything would do, i mean if there is anything nice that is local to this country will also work :)

Obviously something more presentable gets bonus points.

Ta !

And yes, something easily accessible would be welcome, I don't want to spend loads on shipping to me only to need loads to send it over too.
 
I'll see if my shop has any of Brewdog's Scotch Ale in and ask how much it'll roughly cost to post when I go in tomorrow (gives me an excuse to pick something interesting up!). If I see any Scotch Ales, I'll let you know. I'm sure some of our Manchester (IIRC, that's where you are?) folk should be able to tell you of a decent beer shop though.

I really can't think of anything that you'll get in a supermarket I'm afraid. It's not really a popular type of beer over here.

Secret Santas: I hate rum/oak aged beer! So please don't buy me any. :D

I am from Hereford so not Manchester I am afraid, I go to Birmingham a lot though but take the train so can't really go venture out of town searching for beers.

There are a few off licence/wine shops here but ia m clueless when it comes to beer.

Thanks for your help :)
 
You'll have difficultly finding a decent Scotch Ale in a non-specialist shop to be honest. My shop will post you the bottle if they have it, I guess it all depends on how much you want to spend. If it's just a couple of quid, get to a supermarket and buy some Innes and Gunn beers and William Brothers beers. They'll be Scottish if not Scotch ale and they probably don't have that over there.

No problem, I love talking about beer and getting people trying new stuff. :D

Whilst I dislike them, mainly because they are oak aged which I hate, I get that many people do. That being said, I don't think they are particularly good beers but they are Scottish and should be something a little bit different. I ALMOST bought one last night but just couldn't. I think I'm going to give up trying to make myself like them. Horses for courses!
Raymond, the shop I use have the Scotch Ale in stock. If interested, give me a shout through trust and I can pass their details onto you and they'll be able to post it out to you.

Also a coffee for me, thought about putting my CoCo pops milk into my coffee but thought better of it.

Mate works for the US Army and is posted on a base down south he was uprecently with a boot full of random stuff I asked him to bring up xD
