Belt’s Beer Garden: Light as a Feather

This week I have two Scottish brews that might not have huge amounts of alcohol but they certainly still have some big flavors.

First up, Broughton Ales and an IPA with one of the lowest ABV I think I’ve ever had.

Broughton Ales comes from the Tweeddale region of Scotland and, more specifically, Broughton Village – which is about 30 miles south west of Edinburgh. They were founded way, way back in 1979 and was Scotland’s first microbrewery.

Today they’re all over the UK and have seven bottled beers, eight year-round cask ales, and another 12 seasonal/specialty release casks/kegs.
