Jason and I explore Scottish ales.  We give you a couple of tips on how to differentiate a Scottish Ale from a Scotch Ale. We also come up with some diverse pairing suggestions. 

...and Jason coins a new phrase, but you will have to listen to the podcast to learn what it is!

....hops have been used in beer since the early 11th century.

.....flowers and herbs such as Heather were used to bitter beer when hops were in short supply.
