Beer Week redux #1
Sorry about the orange juice. You try setting up a picture at the bar of a Spoons on a Friday night. |
Then round the corner to the Pot Still to see how their Cask King competition was progressing. The Pot Still, as the name implies, is mainly a specialist whisky pub (there are fewer of these in Scotland than you might imagine) but has sold real ale for as long as I can remember. Back then it was McEwan's 80/– and more recently Caledonian. More recently still they've started upping their game and getting in beers that are a bit more exciting. The idea of Cask King was to get a few guest beers in the pub over the course of the week, and let the punters vote on which should stay as a regular. We didn't know this at the time, of course, but Fyne Ales’ Jarl eventually emerged as the winner, which was not terribly surprising to its dedicated fans.
