Kelpie Seaweed Ale
Kelpie Seaweed Ale sounds much more exotic than it actually is. This isn't some tropical creation, as I assumed it might be, but actually an historic Scottish beer inspired by small Scottish alehouses of the early 1900's. According to the Williams Brothers Brewery website, where the beer is made,
"Prior to the 1850′s there were many Scottish coastal alehouses, which brewed their own ales, these ales were made from local malted barley, which was grown on fields fertilised with seaweed. This environment gave the barley a very specific flavour which we have recreated by the inclusion of fresh seaweed in the mash tun. Seaweed taken fresh from the water on the Argyll coast is ‘mashed in’ with the malted and roasted barley."
