Boggan's Wee Heavy Scottish Ale

The Strong Scotch Ale or “Wee Heavy” style is a malt driven beer often with a little residual sweetness and soft peat smoke character. This is truly like the liquor Scotch, but pre-distillation. Revealing a higher alcohol content, the rich caramelized sugars give this style a brownish copper color balanced by very light hop bitterness. We asked Sneaky Peat to help us with sourcing real imported peat bog to smoke the malt for this beer. Peat has a completely different smoke character than hickory or applewood and helps make this beer genuine in character and style. We are proud to present Boggan’s Wee Heavy named after Patrick Boggan’s “ordinary” established at around 1749 in Snow Hill Plantation. His inn provided a meal and hospitality at the intersection of two trading paths in North Durham.
