Introducing the Book Drunkard Ale Pairings!

Flight A: Elgin Blonde – blonde ale – 4.3% alc./vol.

Crisp, Bright and Thirst-Quenching

Easy-drinking blonde ale is known for clear, clean flavours and special attention to high quality malt. German Pilsner malt shines in our beer, providing a bready, biscuity aroma and rich mouthfeel for such a light-bodied, low alcohol beer. Accentuated with citrusy/floral Cascade, Herkules & Saphir hops – just a little more than your everyday blonde’s hop bill, to add some edginess.

Flight B: Monday Night Piper – Scottish-style ale – 4.8% alc./vol.

Bold, Dark and Delicious

This smooth amber-coloured ale is inspired by Scotland’s 80/- (80 shilling) beer style, priced according to its strength. The star of Monday Night Piper is its deluxe malt bill – best pale malt from England, and caramel and chocolate malts from Germany, add sweetness, rich colour and a tantalizing sponge-toffee flavour, all before finishing dry.
