This little history is a record of brewing in Scotland from the time of the Picts to the present, and covers many new areas of interest for both the aficionado and the interested enthusiast. It shows how the Scots have made numerous contributions to the British brewing industry, as well as bringing lots of new inventions to the trade. There is also much new information on such topics as why porter was so called, and a new theory on why the (English!) porter vat calamity occurred. The controversial Shilling Terminology is explained and the myth about Edinburgh brewing water being the same as Burton upon Trent is exposed. AUTHOR: John Alexander has been an enthusiastic craft brewer since 1970 and has written, demonstrated and lectured on the subject. For many years he wrote a regular article for the Amateur Winemaker and Homebrewer as well as writing the books Brewing Lager, Dundee Pubs Past and Present, A Guide to Craft Brewing and Dundee Breweries. In 2008 he wrote an article on Shilling Ales for Brewer’s Contact, the publication of the Craft Brewing Association. He lives in Angus. 40 b/w illustrations
