Coopers?

They had DuPont saison last time I was in. Eclectic even for Inverness.

I stay in Dingwall so not far away. Inverness has the Black Isle Brewery bar. Not really a taproom as the brewery is elsewhere, good pizzas. Can get surprisingly busy and justifies their planning permission for a new bar & brewery. Phoenix is bad either for hand pump stuff. Train/bus to Forres...

Enjoy tassie, just back from an extended trip.

Surprisingly good beer selection on tap at Brisbane airport. Used up the last of our cash on a few coopers sparkling.

Great selection in Victoria point. I think over two days we tried most of them. Crimson Corsair being the standout and brewed just a few km away.

The staff told me when I popped into the shop one day. Didn’t have a beer I wanted but found the Nessie rebrand.

On holiday.

Did you know that this is just cairngorm brewery rebranding for a different market. Can’t remember which one of their range it is now but suspect one of stag or wildcat.

Living in the Scottish Highlands is the answer (although even where I live we were a hairs breadth from a hosepipe ban last June)

Ron blogged about Guinness in the 70s today. Got me thinking he might have a thing to say about the current product? http://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/2024/02/guinness-in-1970s.html?m=1

The worst pint of Guinness I've ever had was in Ireland!

I’m convinced when I lived in Germany in the mid 90s that the Guinness sold was Reinheitsgebot compliant. It definitely tasted different but as the local pils was better and cheaper I didn’t have it that often

Saison DuPont in draft in inverness. A rare find up here and an excellent beer. No photos, to embarrassing doing so in a busy pub!

It looks like it starts off as foreign extra stout then diluted down. Well based on the alcohol content quoted.

Interesting how they mash the roast barley completely separately. I was watching it wondering if it was forgotten about at one point.

No, mine is erdinger Alkohol Frei. Although I’ve had another af wheat beer from a smaller German brewer that was even better.(not available over here easily)

It was one of the interbrew owned ones. The tour was excellent
