    A few of my favourites at the moment are Black Isle Yellowhammer, Cairngorm Tradewinds, A few of the Alchemey beers and Williams brothers.

    Good pub on our very door step at Easter Road for Real ales is the Mash Tun.

    The Mash Tun is excellent with staff that know their stuff. I was in on Saturday and got a pint that was quite clearly near the end of the cask so it wasn't quite right. Asked to change it and it was done no bother at all. Try that is some pubs and the bar staff will argue to the death until the cask runs out about a pint and half later to prove you right.

    Quaffing a pint or two of Righteous Ale (American Craft Beer) in AGB's. 6.3%, so better watch what I'm doing! :-)

    Tastes even stronger, a pint or two then on to something else methinks!

    Got myself a nice 6 pack of Bacchus Fromboziabiere (very doubtful that is correctly typed but I cannot be bothered checking the label) to do me tomorrow! A lovely raspberry flavoured Belgian beer. Not my normal kind of beer but tried a bottle of it on a night out in Carlisle & fair enjoyed it so thought I'd go for something different!

    Me & my mate have a Brew Dog beer in for hogmanay. Comes in a tiny wee 30CL bottle so we plan to slip one each of it in our pockets and have it at the bells. It is called Watt Dickie Ice Distilled Beer. It is lethal sounding but hey... it's hogmanay.

    The Watt Dickie stuff is really nice. It's meant to be treated as a spirit so I tried it neat, with a touch of water and with a couple of cubes of ice. Definitely best with the ice imo.

    I did not know that, thanks! We were just going to drink it straight as it is beer (even if it is 'ice distilled') but wasn't sure it'd be particularly pleasant given the strength of it! Will try it with ice & water as you say, like I would a good malt whisky.

    Enjoyed a good days drinking yesterday and have concluded that the best bottled ale to accompany a single malt is bitter and twisted. Got many I prefer more in their own right but b&t proved to be a fine partner to a wee glenrothes select reserve.

    For those that like Belhaven Black, had 7 pints of this wonderful heaven in a glass yesterday in the Safari Lounge at Abbeyhill.

    What a transformation this place has had incidentally. Excellent food also. Thoroughly recommend a visit.

    Saw the new version for the 1st time when I was back at home at Xmas. What a transformation. The old place looked so dingy it was a constant butt of jokes amongst my mates.

    Not sure how strong it was, head was fine. I seem to be immune to sore heads when drinking cider, if I had drank the equivalant in bog standard lager it would have been banging!

    The Cork & Cask on Marchmont Rd sells every Scottish bottled beer. There's a micro brewery from Kelso called Tempest who do some amazing beers, Brave New World being one. Worth a browse if you're round that way.

    If you like tempest beers growler on Morningside rd always has a couple of their beers in the cask that they fill up into 1,2 or 3 litre bottles, works out a bit cheaper than the bottle shops.

    I was in The Vintage earlier, wide choice of beers, a tad costly though.

    Haven't trawled through the whole thread to see if anyone's mentioned my favourites but Jarl by Fyne Ales is the dug's baws and as refreshing an outburst of fruit as it's possible to get. Try especially on a hot summer's day! Others are Hurricane Jack and Avalanche by the same brewery and Black IPA and Edinburgh Gold by Stewarts and Punk IPA by Brewdog.

    Only thing that cheeses me off is the price, which I can appreciate with the smaller breweries, but such as Brewdog are making decent quantities of the stuff yet the price of a 30cl bottle can be the same or more than larger bottles from other smaller breweries.

    Funny you should say that, Jarl is just about my least favourite pint. You would be cheaper just pouring some washing up liquid into a glass and downing it

    Tonight's tipples for me are.......

    Maclays 56 shilling, 6.9% - 5/10

    ......and Brewdog Brixton Porter, 5.0 % - 5/10

    I'm very strict with my scoring so 5/10 isn't too bad

    If you get your hands on one of the other prototypes, Interstellar, then you're in for a treat.

    I had Jarl on keg for the first time this week and thought it was decent! It was on at the same time as Tempest Long White Cloud though so was made to look bad.

    Belhaven are about to launch a 'craft' range.

    5 beers in all. Tried 4 the other day: An IPA, a lager, a stout and I can't remember the other. The IPA was ok and the stout was very good (and gave a nice glow at 7.2%).

    The 5th, which the rep didn't have for sampling, was aged in Speyside whisky casks.
