Merida Scottish Ale

Venture into the mythical snowy Scottish Highlands with SheppyBrew's Merida Scottish Ale, an exquisite representation of the BJCP style 14A, Scottish Light Ale (60 Shilling). This brew showcases a deep amber hue crowned with a frothy, off-white head. The aroma greets you with rich malt sweetness, featuring notes of caramel and toffee. The flavor profile is a harmonious blend of roasted malt and delicate earthy hops, balanced by a mild bitterness that lingers just enough to invite the next sip. With an ABV of 3%, this Scottish Light Ale promises a sessionable yet flavorful journey for the true beer enthusiast.

Legend has it that this ale was inspired by the bravery of Merida Dunbroch, the fearless warrior princess who roams the Highlands. As she fights off monster bears and cunning witches with her trusty bow and arrows, she draws strength from the rich, hearty brews of her homeland. One fateful day, during her daring adventures, Merida stumbled upon a hidden glen where the SheppyBrew brewing gnomes resided. These mystical gnomes, known for their unparalleled craftsmanship and magical brewing secrets, welcomed Merida with open arms, recognizing a kindred spirit in her courageous heart.

Intrigued by the gnomes' enchanting brewing techniques, Merida joined forces with them to create the perfect recipe. They blended the finest ingredients from the Highlands with a touch of enchantment, weaving together a brew that embodied the spirit of her homeland. The brewing process itself became a legendary tale, with gnomes and Merida working side by side, chanting ancient spells and sharing stories of bravery and adventure.

The result is the Merida Scottish Ale—a beer that captures the essence of the Highlands, the valiant spirit of Merida, and the whimsical charm of the SheppyBrew gnomes. Each sip transports you to a world where magic and courage are intertwined, where the rugged beauty of the Highlands meets the skillful artistry of the gnomes. With every pour, you're invited to partake in this extraordinary journey, savoring the flavors and stories that make this ale truly exceptional.

Cheers to enjoying a taste of legend, lore, and a dash of magic!
