h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I was given a bottle of 'Kelpie' for Christmas. It's a Scottish beer, which includes seaweed, yes, that's right, seaweed, in the making. Apparently, this is an old tradition the makers have resurrected.

The result is a rather good, very dark, bitter/stout hibrid, with a distinct chocolatey quality.

Sounds right up my street. Any idea how available it is?

Not sure, as it was a present. I'll see if I can find out and let you know, though.

Cheers (raises glass),

Stretchy.

Kelpie is brewed by Heather Ales and is generally available from most good off licences, your independant ones, not the high street ones.

Usually only available in bottles rather than on draught. Travels better and means they can export it. Not bottle conditioned for that reason. US importers are Legends Limited.

Nice one Pastey - I shall go hunting at the weekend...
