Aye! What's up ye kilt, laddie?

Perhaps a wild hair?

Though it's not on the brewing schedule this year, I thought I'd try a Scottish Heavy 70/-.  This ale should be a "session" beer--meaning it's lower in alcohol, with a lot of malt flavor and very low bitterness.  I test-brew small batches of these one-offs to see if they might be commercially viable.  It also means they are not always on the menu.  But, if you know the brewmaster, and ask him real nice, he might give you a sample!

One of my former bosses, Brewmaster Dave Bass at Rock Bottom, Milwaukee holds Scottish Ales in high esteem, and his is excellent.  It will be interesting to compare the two.
