if you are in Scotland, and you aren't keen on Whisky, or are doing a more northerly tour, then The Edinburgh Gin Company tour was recommended to me by a good friend.
https://www.edinburghgin.com/distilleries-and-tours
Obvs not on at the moment, but he describes making his own bottle, with flavours of his choosing, there will be other Gin distilleries offering similar no doubt.
I see Brewdog offer tours as well https://www.brewdog.com/usa/locations/brewery/ellon
hat way you could do Gin in Edinburgh, The speyside tour, and finish in Ellon for a BrewDog tour. |

I can't really agree with this. One or two stronger straw-coloured citrus-hopped ales maybe but that's often all you can get and it do cost the earth, and is often too astringent to drink more than a couple.
For a Leo* you need a decent session ale (sub 4% decent malt/hop mix) - old school cooking bitter.

In my experience, milds and bitters are actually the hardest to brew well; there's absolutely no room for error due to their more subtle flavours. Hop-bombs and imperial stouts have such an onslaught of flavour mistakes can be, to a degree, masked. There are probably 100+ rubbish milds/bitters for each good one. |
Very good points. A good mild has those bready notes, and all the flavour spectrum is filled up: bass, mids and trebles are all there. In the best case, it has slight floral hints as well. One that comes to mind is the (wrongly named) Rebellion "IPA". I do fancy I can tell hops varieties apart, in a lot of cases. Originally, I think microbreweries experimented with American Cascade, and they used it sparingly. Then, when Citra and Amarillo and the rest came on the scene, things changed. Good for me but not so good for people who don't think hops are always good. And I agree there are breweries that are dry/late hopping in order to disguise unpleasant flavours. St Austell (mentioned earlier in this thread) is a big multi-barrel operation now, and is most famous for Sharp's Doom, I think. But it's also trying to "hop" on the hops bandwagon, with a product called "Proper IPA", which is just completely off, in my opinion.
Anyway, don't want to derail the whiskey thread any further. |
