Background:

The flag and its story is familiar to everyone but why in these turbulent times would a small brewery in Scotland choose this American symbol over the fine selection of Saltires, lion rampant and tartans that represent our own nation so well ?

The answer is simply a tribute to the wonderful varieties of New World hops which are cultivated in North america and the kind assistance of a Texan brewer in developing the recipe for this ale. Mainstream American beer has been the butt of many a joke from the older brewing traditions of Europe however not unlike the wine trade you will find that many small breweries over there have adopted and evolved methods from over here, and are producing world class ales that really push the boundaries.
