A Beer with a View

This month at the castle we’re launching our craft beer menu. Due to increasing popularity of craft beers, we decided to introduce a selection to our menu in The Red Coat Café and The Queen Anne Tea Rooms.

We chose this collection because of their excellent quality, varieties in tastes and flavours along with the differing types of beer which allows you to sample craft breweries from across Scotland.

Here’s a selection of the craft beers available:

St. Mungo Lager

St. Mungo Lager

St. Mungo is a true Premium Lager. Its natural carbonation and firm crisp taste perfectly counter its malty body. Clean, fresh and refreshing. Brewed with Scottish and German malted barley, German hops and yeast and pure Scottish water.

 

Harviestoun Schiehallion
