We have got our hands on a couple of new Scottish beers for your delectation.
First up is Brewdog’s Hardcore I.P.A – It will be in stock for the weekend. But we only have 12!

Next up is the Dark Island Orkney Ale. Cousin if the delectable Skull Splitter. Only 4.3% so not so much of a commitment as the SS!
Also have the Highland Cask from Innis and Gunn to add to our Connoisseur series. Delicious!
Ace Boston restaurant scribe MC Slim JB bestowed upon us a lovely accolade ‘Best Commonwealth Export’. Read all about it below!!

Australia and Scotland: represent! Down Under finally gets its due at KO Catering & Pies (87 A Street, South Boston, 617.269.4500), a nifty Southie spot that goes beyond its superb namesake meat pies (the Aussie equivalent of ballpark franks) to serve fine corn fritters, sandwiches, desserts, and more. Meanwhile in Hyde Square, The Haven (2 Perkins Street, Jamaica Plain, 617.524.2836) bobs alone as a beatific island of Scots hospitality amidst a sea of often-dubious Irish pubs, serving up oatcakes, haggis and neeps, smoked salmon, and more familiar gastropub fare with good draft Scottish ales. You knew the grateful ex-pats would flock here, but these charming packages fronted by nice-guy owners have won a deserved Yankee following, too.
What better way to have brunch than with English football? Go on admit it!
The game is rife with Scottish influence though.
Take this weeks televised games-
10am : Liverpool v Wolverhampton Wanderers, Scottish manager v Scottish schooled player in Mick McCarthy.
12.30 pm – Man u v Stoke City. Scottish v Welsh manager.
All in all a great round of games.
