    I'd say any ale made in Scotland would qualify as a Scottish Ale, it can't be otherwise . Different styles , but beer brewed in Belgium are still Belgian whether they're strongs or sours .

    Ill jump on the Wulver bandwagon. A bit pricey but it is a must try at least once!

    Does it? I am working on a beer blog at the moment where the goal is to list every decent beer at various beer stores in town with price, rating, style, and ABV. I found that one sitting in the corner in the international section of the largest beer store in town (proof) and of course added it to my list.

    is it worth buying just to do a spotlight review on my blog?

    From what I hear- Wulver
    From experience- Dirty Bastard, Old Chub, Hairy Eyeball

    My personal favorite malt-forward style, hope you enjoy!

    Was able to get a 4 pack of Wulver via trade, great brew! Still have a couple bottles I put in the cellar...I doubt they'll stay there long lol.

    Agreed! I'll only pay the $10/bottle price once but it was terrific! Second Place has to go to Backwoods Bastard

    I don't know... at least not out in Philly. Both times I've had it, it was on tap.

    Agree with the Wulver mentions. Finally tried this for the first time a week or so ago and even with all of the respect / props I've seen this beer get on BA, I was still blown away. So so so good. I just wish it wasn't so pricey.

    Everything I would have said has already been said, but no one has mentioned Meantime Scotch ale. It's so awesome.
