Beer Spotlight – Wee Beast

December 13, 2014DRINKale, Skye, wee heavyMACKAY

ISLE OF SKYE WEE BEAST ISLE OF SKYE • SCOTLAND
A buzz is brewing in Scotland about this fantastic beer from the Isle of Skye Brewery. Known in Scotland as “Cuillin Beast,” this deep, dark ale is rich, beguiling, and just a wee bit ferocious.
Legend has it that the great warrior of Celtic legend, Cuchulain, was oft accompanied by a fierce dog-beast that was said to have once wandered the jagged mountains of Skye . . . and so it is that this fine ale takes its name.
The illustration for the Wee Beast label was painted by Massachusetts artist Gary Lippincott.

Style: English Ale

ABV: 7.0%

Packaging: 500ml bottles

Beer Spotlight-Brewdog Libertine Black Ale Brewdog

Brewer – Brewdog
Lose yourself in this voluptuous beast of a beer. A twenty-first century hop overdose.
This mother will seduce you, ravish you and you’ll be back gagging for more. Adore it. Lust for it. Fall for it.
Libertine Black Ale is a dark hop bomb combining the hop awesomeness of an IPA, the decadent and indulgent malt flavours of a stout with an insatiable drinkability that belies the punch that this beer packs. A Dark Knight amongst pale knaves.
Taste the hops, live the dream. Learn to speak beer, love fruit and never forget you come from a long line of truth seekers, dreamers and warriors… the outlaw elite.
Ride toward anarchy and caramel craziness. Let the sharp bitter finish rip you straight to the tits. Swallow hard – this beer bites.

ABV:7.2% OG:1069 IBU’s:65
Malts: Maris Otter, Caramalt, Munich Malt, Dark Crystal Malt, Carafa
Hops: Simcoe

Envelope yourself in it’s carnal purity.
