Scotch-Irish Red Ale: A Wee Light

 

St. Patricks day is my second favorite holiday next to Halloween. People get tore up, have fun, make mistakes, blackout, and wake up regretting a lot of things. Whats not to love?

pint of beerEvery year I make an Irish Red beer to help celebrate the holiday. I usually base this beer on a recipe by Jamil Zainasheff from Heretic Brewing. He is also hosting a podcast that I like called Brewing with Style.

This year my local home brew shop (LHBS),   Three Stars Brewing Co, was out of WLP004 Irish ale yeast so I used their WLP028 Edinburgh Scottish ale yeast instead.

The beer turned out great and the keg was kicked by the end of the night. Good times! Good friends! Good food!
