On our Scottish export tasting video episode, BJCP Category 14A, we had the good fortune to have Don, a fellow member of the Brew Brothers homebrew club, join us. Not only did he join us, but he brought along this excellent example of a Scottish Light (BJCP Category 14A) for us to sample, and he was even willing to share the recipe!
This is a very sessionable beer, that packs in a lot of flavor. If you enjoy malty beers, then this one is for you. Don said he likes to have some of this, or his other Scottish Light Recipe, on hand when he’s running his smoker. You can enjoy quite a few of these without getting too inebriated.
You can find the other recipes that Don was willing to share with us below:
– Don’s Sholto Scotch Ale – Scottish Export All Grain Homebrew Recipe
– Don’s Ole Scotch Ale – Wee Heavy All Grain HomeBrew recipe
– Don’s Archibald the Grim Scottish Light – All Grain Homebrew Recipe
