YOU need know only two things about this site. It is nicely designed and it is all about beer. Nuff said.

The brewery (http://www.blackislebrewery.com/) itself is in

Munlochy near Inverness and there's a map if you want to make a pilgrimage.

If you are still thirsty for knowledge drop into the beer guide which has revelatory facts like: "In the past, expectant mothers were able to receive stout on prescription. This would provide valuable vitamins and iron to both the happy mother and the unborn child."

The 'tasting notes' are great fun too.

The Black Isle Goldeneye organic pale ale is described as having a "bitter roasted malt aroma, packed with hedgerow fruit and hops". Bottoms up!
