November Specialty Beer: Dunbar Scotch Ale
Dunbar was our favorite stop on a trip to Scotland in 1989. This small seaside town south of Edinburg is also home to the Bellhaven Brewery and some of the best ales in Scotland. We brewed a limited amount of our scotch ale in June to age and mellow the prodigious quantity of Scottish 2-row barley malt and a touch of German melanoid malt. The result is a smooth caramel finish with imported English fuggle hops playing a supporting role. Tapped on Friday, Nov. 5. OG: 1079, 8.4% alcohol by vol. 6.7 SRM; 21 IBU.   

Note: We ran out of October Specialties Cascadian Dark and Worth Wet Hop this past weekend. To help fill the void we’ve ordered Millstream’s Schild Brau Vienna lager from Amana, Iowa—a World Beer Cup Gold 2010 Gold Medal winner.

Germany-Belgium Beer Tour 2011

Join Margaret and Peter, owners of Worth Brewing Company on a trip of a lifetime to Germany & Belgium next September! The Beer Tour will depart the USA on Thursday, September 8, 2011, and the length will be 12 days/11 nights, this will be 10 nights in hotels & 1 on the flight, returning home on Monday, September 19.

Highlights:
We’ll arrive in Munich on Sept. 8, 2011, and fly home from Brussels on Sept. 19. In between we’ll visit Andechs Brewery & Monastery, King Ludwig's Neuschwanstein Castle, Weihenstephan, the oldest brewery in the world, Bamberg (Where our German barley is malted) the home of the famous smoked beers and a UNESCO world heritage city, a trip on a Rhine River steamer from Rudesheim to Koblenz, a stop at Abbaye d'Orval and relish in their beer, cheese and crackers for a few hours, then into Brussels where we stay for 3 nights, a visit to Bruges and Hoegaarden.

This tour appeals to me because we won’t be checking in and out of hotels and moving every day. We’ll have a chance to absorb the local culture—and beer of course. 

Tour arrangements
All booking and arrangements are through Allen Travel of Clear Lake. Owner Jay Allen is a customer and beer geek with years of experience in the travel industry. I encourage you to check out prices and extensive details on their website. And shop around. We believe this tour is the best, most reasonable European beer tour available.
