Belt’s Beer Garden: Scotch Hop(ped)

During these cold winter months, Scotch Ales are the great for keeping you warm and giving you a nice buzz. And that’s perfect for a day like today where it’s cold and snowing (at least, it is in Chicago) and nobody wants to go outside.

Up first, a brewery that knows a thing or two about scotch and brewing...Scotland’s Belhaven Brewing, which just turned 300 years old last year!

Belhaven Brewery comes from Belhaven, Dunbar, Scotland (about 20 miles east of Edinburgh) and has been brewing beers for a long, long time. In fact, they’re Scotland’s oldest functioning brewery and started making beer in 1719 – some 60+ years before the USA would even become a country.
