823: McEwan's | Champion


The brewery: In 1856 William McEwan started the Fountain brewery in Edinburgh. In 1930 a merger with William Younger's brought about Scottish Brewers. In 2005 the brewery moved just up the road to the Caledonian Brewery.

The beer: "This is Scotland's favourite premium bottled beer for good reason. Full bodied and complex, it's uniquely sweet and fruity character smooths the way to it's McNificent strength. Launched in 1997 after winning a Tesco bottled beer competition."

Lovely drop this, helped by the fact that it's available around my way in a few supermarkets relatively cheaply. At 7.3% it certainly creeps up on you though.
