Kelpie Seaweed Ale

Prior to the 1850's there were many Scottish coastal ale-houses which brewed their own ales, these ales were made from local malted barley which was grown on fields fertilised with seaweed. This environment gave the barley a very specific flavour which we have recreated by the inclusion of fresh seaweed in the mash tun.In addition to the seaweed (bladder rack) harvested on the Argyll coast we have used only organically grown malt . The darker malts roasted by ourselves. Kelpie is a rich chocolate ale which has an aroma of fresh seabreeze and a distinctive malty texture.
The name Kelpie is the term for mythical creatures one of which lives in each loch of Scotland. The best know kelpie is the Loch Ness Monster. The symbol on the label is a Pictish symbol of a kelpie. Complements to Kelpie: Perfect with seafood and sushi.

Grozet Gooseberry Ale
Grozet Auld Scot's Gooseberry and Wheat Ale From the Gaelic "Grosied"

Grozet: The gooseberry is the Scottish native "hairy grape" and has been used to produce alcoholic beverages at least since Medieval times. In the 17th Century monks were known to make a strong wine-like ale from unmalted wheat, herbs and gooseberries. This contemporary version is brewed with lager malt, wheat, bog myrtle, hops and meadowsweet, then secondary fermented with ripe Scottish gooseberries. Due to the high proportion of wheat and the high pectin content of gooseberries, Grozet is likely to "haze" once chilled. These proteins could be removed by chemical or physical processing but this would effect the flavors and "feel" of the drink. Complements to Grozet: Grozet compliments a variety of light foods, pastas and salads.
