Grim O'Grady Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Was on the Scottish Borders Brewery Game Bird earlier as well as Drovers 80 Bob then Peter's Well & finished off with a couple of Abeam (I think it was called) bloody lovely. Stewarts 80 Bob is a favorite of mine but there's far too many to shortlist it down to a top 20. I can see why the OP had difficulty. My local, has loads of cracking ales from all over the UK so I'm forever dipping my toes in different pints (am I doing it wrong?). I find that a lot of Scottish brewers seem to go for the lighter ales which I like on hot summer days. But I prefer the darker brews during the other 360 days.

Monster Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Originally I was going to make ten, but found it too difficult to restrict myself so narrowly. In no particular order; Caledonian. Deuchars IPA Great idea for a thread, well done for having them in no particular order, but honestly, Deuchars IPA is a disgusting shambles of a beer. It has no taste, no body and barely enough alcohol to even be called a beer. It would rate in the worst ten beers I've ever had, and that includes lagers. Brewdog - Punk IPA Brewdog - 5 a.m. Saint Cromarty - Happy Chappy Broughton - Dark Dunter Broughton - Exciseman Broughton - Old Jock Cairgorm - Trade Winds Arran - Blonde Inveralmond - Thrappledouser Fyne - Jarl Fyne - Maverick Williams - Perfect Storm Williams - 7 Giraffes Williams - Scottish Session Williams - Midnight Sun Sulwath - Tri Ball Tribute Stewart Brewing - Hollyrood Edinburgh Brewing - EPA Ayr Brewing Co. - Rabbies Porter McEwan's - Champion This list would be different if I did it tomorrow. As has been mentioned, this is a great time for Scottish beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamdunk Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Caesar Augustus Arron blonde Schehallion Are my top 3. I like most Williams bros stuff and some black isle stuff is good too. Also enjoy West beer. St mungos is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 West Munich red is comfortably the best beer in Scotland. Schiehallion, Innis and Gun rum, then oak finish respectively, then probably Orkney's Dark Island. St Mungos is a mediocre lager; Schiehallion shows how it should be done.

jamamafegan Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Anyone who's included Brewdog needs to have a f**king word. Disagree, may be hipster as f**k but some of them are pretty nice - Punk IPA and Dead Pony Club spring to mind. Innis & Gunn Original (toffee flavoured one) is good. Really enjoy West beer as well, the draught one that I think is simply called "West" and is served in a German style glass with a handle always gets me absolutely pished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
