The author has been an enthusiastic craft brewer since 1970 and has written, demonstrated and lectured on the subject. Here he tells the big story of Scotland's brewing history in a little book covering such topics as Scotch Ale, Porter, Shilling Ales and The Influential Waters of Edinburgh and Alloa. In the 1700s, Scotch Ale was a thick, sweet brew flavoured with groot. By the 1830s it was a pale, lightly hopped beer which became a worldwide success and remains a popular style in Belgium, although it has progressively been diluted through the 20th century. From the time of the Picts to the present day, Scotland has played an important role in the development of British brewing. The book covers hops and herbs, 19th century barley and malting, the Victorian brewery and public house, Prohibition, innovations and technology, the Shilling Terminology, military associations, commemoration ales, brewing liquor, India Pale Ale, traditional Scottish Draught beer, bottled beer and more. Illustrations and line art, 224pp.
