Well it’s that time of year again. It’s time for the National Hombrew Competition. I will be submitting two beers again this year so I’ve been brewing.
First up is a Scottish Export, also known as an 80 Shilling (80/-). Not sure how relevant it is these days in Scotland, but I credit this style getting me hooked on beer. I wasn’t a huge fan of beer before my first trip to Scotland. However, on that first trip I was introduced to a “pint of 80” and I found it be delicious. This is still one of my favorite styles of beer, but it’s hard to find. I think this version is pretty good:
Here is a link to the BJCP style guide for Scottish Export.
I have also have a Double IPA and Scottish Wee Heavy in the works. Unfortunately, they aren’t ready to drink yet. Only time will tell which two brews make it into the competition.
Cheers!
