When I worked at the country club, there was a very elderly man that would come in from golfing every day at 10am and get a Highland Gaelic Ale... http://www.highlandbrewing.com/ One day, he came in and the tap was not working and the bartender had to fix it and offered him something else instead. He preferred to put his golf game on hold and wait for the tap to be fixed, he loved this beer that much lol.
I think that will be one of the first ones I try..plus...I love the name!
If any of y'all are ever in Asheville, I would be happy to join you for this! |
I would definitely try their Black Mocha Stout. Typically, a lower ABV Stout (like Guinness), doesn't have a solid, or heavy enough taste to me, but recently I had a stout on tap that was low in abv, but heavy in taste. Of course, I don't remember the name. I am wondering if things are moving in this direction with stouts. I LOVE a heavy stout, but the high abv keeps me from having as many as I would like. I am not so keen on the high calories (250-300), either! I admit Russian Imperials are my fav.
