twistedmouth: Beer Review: De Mons Belgian abbey beer by Inveralmond Brewery
http://twistedmouth.blogspot.com/2015/05/beer-review-de-mons-belgian-abbey-beer.html
Thursday, May 07, 2015. Beer Review: De Mons Belgian abbey beer by Inveralmond Brewery. In the dark dregs of last year, Inveralmond Brewery in Perth brought a bit of winter warmth with the launch of De Mon, the second in their Inspiration series of world beers. While Inspiration No 1 - Sunburst - paid homage to the Czech pilsner, head brewer Ken Duncan looked to the Belgian abbey-style beer for Inspiration No 2. Who knows. One thing's for sure: Inspiration No 3 has a couple of tough acts to follow. Beer ...

Friday, May 16, 2014. Icelandic Toasted Porter by Einstok. Icelandic Toasted Porter by Einstok. Icelandic Toasted Porter by Einstok. I had been challenged to try out Einstok's beers after penning my round-up of new Scottish beers. For The Herald online. Happy I did, and I'll try the others but I disagree strongly with the poster called Paul who commented on my choice of beers: "None as good as Einstock from Iceland.". Links to this post. Location: Akureyri, Iceland. Wednesday, May 14, 2014. First off, yo...

twistedmouth: Beer Review: Orkney Porter Arran Bere Whisky Cask Edition by Highland Brewing Company
http://twistedmouth.blogspot.com/2015/05/beer-review-orkney-porter-arran-bere.html
Monday, May 11, 2015. Beer Review: Orkney Porter Arran Bere Whisky Cask Edition by Highland Brewing Company. Whisky beers were quite the thing last year, with even the mighty Tennent's getting in on the act and taking their whisky oak-aged beer global to follow in the footsteps of trailblazers such as Innis and Gunn and Harviestoun. The latter's Ola Dubh is one of the best examples of this style. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I like beer. A lot. This site is all about the wee craft ales I l...Beer ...

twistedmouth: Beer Review: Hefe wheat beer by Stewart Brewing
http://twistedmouth.blogspot.com/2015/05/beer-review-hefe-wheat-beer-by-stewart.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. Beer Review: Hefe wheat beer by Stewart Brewing. Stewart Brewing in Edinburgh are one of the champions of Scotland's breweries. Beers like Radical Road and Edinburgh Gold have become established classics, while their Craft Beer Kitchen has opened the brewery to new generations of homebrewers. The beer kitchen also, crucially, lets them experiment and develop new beers. Carrot and coriander anyone? Fittingly, this hefe (it means yeast by the way) opens with an aroma of phenol and ...

twistedmouth: November 2014
http://twistedmouth.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 16, 2014. Hmmmmm dinnae really like this one. Smoked Lichtenhainer Weisse 6%. Some German Austrian White beer brewed in accordance with the Ye Olde purity laws that dictate a lot about ingredients but not about taste. Thought it tasted like sour watery Savlon. Still drank it though. Bit more than that going on, to be fair. Apricot sweetness, soft bitterness. Bit of smoke though less than I was expecting given the name. But I couldn't get past the Savlon. Links to this post. I like beer&#...

twistedmouth: January 2015
http://twistedmouth.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. India India by Pilot brewing. The third review of the year is another big-hitter, a double IPA from Pilot, one of Scotland's newest breweries and a product of the boom in craft beers and ales. With their latest brew, Pilot used ingredients including jaggery sugar and fenugreek, putting the India back into IPA and making an educated nod to the history of this style. India India is complex and sophisticated, a beast of a beer with big flavours, a solid body and a potent hit....

twistedmouth: Scotland's vegan-friendly breweries
http://twistedmouth.blogspot.com/2015/05/scotlands-vegan-friendly-breweries.html
Tuesday, May 05, 2015. The past four beer reviews have focused on vegan beers. Below is a list of breweries in Scotland that can call themselves vegan-friendly; breweries that don't use isinglass during their beer-production process. Isinglass is derived from fish bladder, usually from sturgeon, and is used to help filter the yeast suspended in the beer following fermentation and thereby give drinkers a clearer pint. The reasons for not using isinglass are varied. Some breweries are staffed or owned ...

Friday, May 15, 2015. Beer Review: Space Frontier by To Øl and Brew Fist. Humanity's Final Frontier might be Up There, but breweries down here are still pushing barriers when it comes to making beer. Collaborations, wacky ingredients, new strains of hops and ageing methods are being used by the next generation of enterprising brewers to explore new styles and seek out new tastes, boldly brewing where no brewery has gone before. (Sorry.). You'll love the label. It's got a big taste this - the citra and mo...
