McEwans and Belhaven are two of my ABSOLUTE favorites.  I can get Belhaven Wee Heavy in Fort Worth, but I just cannot seem to be able to find McEwans here.  Anyone from the FW area have any leads on acquiring McEwans in my neck of the woods?

QuoteIf one can find McEwan's Scotch Ale best buy all you can because they are vanishing

However, they shall return.  The reason being is that everywhere eles in the world McEwan's bottles are 11.2oz for the exception of the U.S where they are 12oz. They conducted a census/inventory in the U.S to determine how long it would it would take to sell the remainder of all the 12oz bottles in the U.S market and came out to about two years.  I know its been about a year so far since I had my paws on one.

Then hopefully we should start to see the reintroduction of the McEwan's Scotch Ale in the 11.2oz bottles.

Thank goodness!

No McEwans in the Houston area. At least not at Specs, they do not have it listed in there inventory anymore. Sir Wiliiam has posted that should change...hopefully soon :) :D ;D

YES! There will be a day when McEwans Scottish Ale will make its triumphant return to the shelves of America, and when it does there will be much rejoicing!

Now you've done it! My throat is dry and parched. You guys have made me thirsty.  Have to go find something to drink.

I can't say that I've had a Scottish Ale.  I love beers, ales, and stouts of all types, though.  I have to try them.  My current favorite is a Michigan brewed wheat ale that is a summer seasonal.  Oberon.  It's probably very light compared to all of these but I love the flavor of it.

I need to try some of those that you guys are talking about though... the 120 IPA looks VERY interesting.

Oh, and I have been a bartender for over 10 years, so I love learning these things.  NO BUD LIGHT!   :P

I've been wanting to try the Pike's.  Maybe next time I go to Spec's I'll get us a couple of bottles.

Spent yesterday chasing about in search of a one-off Scottish ale by our local brewery.  St. Arnold's does "Divine Reserve" batches, and this one was a Scottish ale created by one of the local brew clubs.  Alas, I would've had to camp out at Spec's before they opened.  Hoping my friend at work scored some!

In the meantime, got a couple of Belhavens left in the fridge.

Wow, Its that good that you gotta camp out in line to get some?  That sure does spark my beer sampling curiosity. I hope your friend scored some!

Right on Lims. I will have try one, two, or perhaps three as it is available here.

Divine No.8 was brewed in a very limited batch... 1000 cases only.  Since St. Arnold is only sold inside the great state TEXAS, a thousand cases goes quick...

No such luck on getting any Divine!  Oh well.  The unfortunate thing is that St. Arnold's doesn't do a Scottish ale as a regular offering.

I haven't had Scottish ale, that I can remember.  I just bought some Sam Adams Oktoberfest yesterday.  Very tasty!
