March Brew and Swap and beyond.

We'll pick a lager style for the lager brewers so everyone is roughly on the same page, any suggestions? Likewise, the pseudo-lager brewers can decide what they want to brew nearer the time.
And yes, your bang on with the Scottish styles expect we'll brewing either Scottish Light or Heavy (aka 60/- or 70/-) but that'll be decided nearer the time.

Ok that's great thanks Alastair. What do you think to a helles for the lager? Still haven't tried it so it'll be a first for me. I do a good vienna lager though. I don't mind at all honestly which one we go for - there's so much choice. As a half-way house, I guess kolsch would be a good option as you originally put in your survey.

I’ve not done a Helles so I’d be up for that.

 

[Twostage]

I've not done a Helles either and there are so many naming options...

Helles and back
Helles or high water

and of course

Where the Helles my coat

Also, for the Scottish one, would I be right in thinking it's this kind of thing? The top three obviously. I've not come across those before. Sorry to be thick

Yes, I was expecting it was these styles. I don't really recognise the names, but I expect it is easy l what used to be called 60/70/80 shilling. Though I think that the industry has moved away from those names at they might be considered old fashioned. I know that Caledonian changed the name of its flagship 80 shilling to something else a few years ago.

The husband pointed out the McEwans Export the other day in the supermarket, and for the life of me I didn't know why he was showing me it. Now I realise! I'm a bit of a ding sometimes! I think the export is my preferred style out of the three, but just noticed higher up that the choices are between light and heavy. Why can't I read lol

I've never heard of the shilling thing, is it a generation thing do you think?

Edit: just re-read your comment - yes then lol

I've had my name picked for that one for about a year and I chuckle every time I go to my brewfather

Safe arrival today thank you! I’ve been meaning to ask what kind of pen that is as I’d assumed chalk but it stays on better than chalk.
