If you know me or of me, you will know I like beer. Over the last few years I have been collecting photos of every new beer I have.
I now have over 2,000 individual beers photographed and have realised that many beers that I assumed I have photos of, I haven't.

This blog will be therefore be an account of my quest for new beers to photo and how I enjoyed them (or not).

Innis & Gunn Beers

Well as I said in the last post, Innis & Gunn has not been covered on here before, so here we go. I will cover the four main beers brewed by Innis & Gunn and may continue onto some of the Limited editions they do. Innis & Gunn is a fairly new brewer and only started in 2003, it is also Scottish and I love their beers.

Innis & Gunn, Original from Scotland

Innis & Gunn, Original, Scotland

6.6%, oak aged beer, light amber in colour with a thin head, slight hop aroma, fairly sweet malt and caramel even butter flavour, very nice indeed. This is the old label but I thought it would do.

Innis & Gunn, Blood Red Sky from Scotland

6.8% deep amber to red in colour with a thin head, there is a sweet hint of rum in the aroma and the taste is slightly sweet but nice rum flavor. I bought this one in a supermarket in France.

Innis & Gun, Gunnpowder IPA from Scotland
