Β Had a bottle of McEwans Champion last night, it's on offer at my local co-op just now @Β£1.83 a bottle, it's been on offer since January, I've lost count of the number of them I've drank since then. The Sainsbury's London Porter could very well be the same as Asda Whitechapel Porter brewed by Shepherd Neame as well, probably just the same beer but different labels. Β When I can't get new beers I often go back over one's I've had years ago, the likes off Headspace, Champion, Broughton Old Jock, Inverlamond Lia Fail, Cairngorm Wildcat etc etc etc. Quote

Jambo-Jimbo Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 A limited edition Vintage Ale from my local brewery at Traquair House Brewery.

Β Β https://www.traquair.co.uk/product/traquair-vintage-ale-abv-8-5-per-case-uk-mainland-only/ Β Tells the story of this ale. If you click on the Brewery link at the top of the page you'll be able to see the brewery with it's ancient oak tuns which are still in use today. A brewery I've been in many times, including a special private tour of the brewery and the house, which my daughters organised a few years back for my birthday, including beer tasting, it was a good hour and a half private tour, including normally off limit areas, excellent.
