It has been quite some time since we last printed a historical
brewing book. The previous titles were American and English
brewing books, now it is time for a Scottish brewing book.
As our way of saying thanks to our customers, we would like to
extend special pre-order pricing to you on our next book!
The Scottish Ale Brewer and Practical Maltster,
by W. H. Roberts, 1847.
-----------------------------------------------
In the early 1800's there was quite a difference between how
English and Scottish brewers practiced their art. Roberts
recognized that brewing texts of the time described the
English system of brewing in detail, but they did not address
the Scottish system. To this end, he wrote The Scottish Ale
Brewer. It is recognized as THE book on Scottish brewing
during the 1800s, and is referenced by books such as
Noonan's Scotch Ale. We searched for years to find a copy
of this book and are proud to be able to bring this
republication to you.
The book will retail for US$29.95 but right now the special
pre-order price is US$25.00, until November 2nd. The book
will be 253+ pages and have the same high quality look and
feel as our other books. We only plan to print a few hundred
copies and expect the book to be available by November 15th.

pre-order period, the book is offered at a discounted price.

distilling books reprinted, feel free to e-mail us with your
