MacIntyre Scotch Ale

MacIntyre Scotch Ale is a rich brown ale that is easy on the hops. It has a rich smooth taste with a little bit of sweet honey after taste and a surprisingly strong kick. It is a favorite of those who" don't like dark beers".

It is named in honor of my Grandmother Evelyn MacIntire Flewelling who didn't drink but wasn't fooled by the efforts of her grown sons to conceal their drinks in coffee mugs and the like. She was known to say at age 70 and above that she couldn't stand old people because "they weary her so."

Slogdobber Brown Ale

This recipe came from The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing by Charlie Papazian, an excellent guide to brewing for the first timer or intermediate brewer. The name comes from a jumble of words as they might be uttered by these three fine denizens of a cozy pub of old.
