Yesterday morning I had to put down my BrewDog. An Akita, Pika loved brewing....or at least napping in the garage while I was brewing - that has to count for dedication in my book. Today I needed to raise a liter (or so...) of the Scottish Ale that she helped brew back in early November. Although a proper stout would describe her physical attributes (brindle & ready to rumble with anyone that wanted to take her on), I honor her with this Scottish Ale (from Gordon Strong's Modern Homebrew Recipes p.106, but modified with some added Honey Malt), while low in ABV - around 5% - the maltiness of this beer matched Pika's Overwhelming Presence, Smile, Love and Bark (for UPS and FedEx Drivers!)! She will be missed. Around young children she was like a marshmallow...
