if beer is your thing...

The Inveralmond Brewery shop is opening it's doors this Saturday! There's bottles, gift packs & mini-casks containing a variety of Inveralmond's ales available (think there might be their Sunburst Pilsner too). The guys (including my other half) will be there from 11am until 4pm.

something for the beer lover

Perth's own brewery The Inveralmond Brewery have opened an e-shop in time for Christmas! So you can now get a case of Ossian or Lia Fail, or a 5 litre mini-cask of your favourite Inveralmond ale wherever you may be in the UK.

Their website is going through a bit of update at the moment so is not looking quite how it should but the shop is fully functional and ready to process any orders. If you're near Perth you could just pop in and collect.

ps. If you are interested to see how the new Inveralmond Brewery build is getting on you can get all the gen @ Mash Tun Musings.

new brewery

I took a wee detour after my brewery duties (see below) to take some pictures of the new Inveralmond Brewery which is being built not far away. Still a lot to do but I think they are hoping to move in about August time. And I'll stop now before I become a brewery bore!

don't worry...the beer will get through

Over the weekend I had the job of looking after the beer at The Inveralmond Brewery while eight of the guys were off on a 3 day trip to the Czech Republic. Oh what responsibility! So whilst they were 'holed-up' in the depths of the Budvar Brewery my tasks were to take the gravities of the beer and set the coolings and hot water. I've done this before (under the watchful eye of my partner Ken) but this was my first time on my ownsome. Luckily getting to the brewery for me involves a very pleasant cycle journey along the Rivers Tay and Almond, and the weather at the weekend here in Perth was just glorious so I think all in all it worked out pretty well.

santa's swallie

Another idea for those especially difficult men in your life.....how about a mini-cask of real ale from The Inveralmond Brewery? A 5 litre mini-cask of Santa's Swallie or Ossian Ale will set you back around £16 (from memory). For more information you can phone 01738 449448 (if George isn't by the phone then you can leave a message). If you're not in Perth you can order online from Cellarman Direct.

well done Ken!!

My very brave partner Ken (a brewer at The Inveralmond Brewery ) made his debut on the new Gaelic television channel last night on a programme about food and drink called Slighe gu Biadh. Brave because he's a Gaelic learner and was extremely (& uncharacteristically) nervous on the day! The whole programme is set in Perthshire (the bit in the brewery is about 8 minutes in) and has subtitles in English. You can see it HERE on BBC iPlayer for the next week.
*UPDATE* My mum (a gaelic speaker) thinks he did very well!!! He'll be pleased about that!
