The half 'n' half tale
Old men in Scottish pubs have been drinking their ales with a dram since forever. It's called a Half 'n Half. It' what you do in Scotland.
At Old Worthy Brewing Co, we love a Half 'n Half, that special marriage of whisky and beer. Let's just say, delicious. It's why we brew our beers. Every single one of them.
We source our malt from Scotland's famous whisky distilleries and brew up some mischeif. Ales that do justice to the drams we love.

Bottle split at L6, thanks to Daniel, 31/10/18. Very light haze on a golden orange pour with a decent off white head. Nose is grassy, grains, caramel, bitter sweet aroma. Taste comprises toffee, dusty fruits, mild whisky nip, toasted grains, brown bread. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Pretty gash.
