As it's getting close to the end of the year, time for something seasonal. And what could be more Christmasy than a watery Scottish beer?
The Scots brewed to a much larger range of gravities than English brewers. From super strong to super watery.
You might have found beers with gravities as low as 1040º in the English countryside, but not in London. A small provincial brewery wouldn’t have been brewing stuff at Imperial strength as well. Younger spanned the both. From the modestly-strengthed drinking Ales of the sticks, to the headiest beers of the capital.
At the lower end of the Shilling Ales, this would have been considered a Table Beer. More of a refreshment than an intoxicant. It’s a very straightforward beer, with a reasonable bitterness for its strength.
