Glen Garioch was a distillery that I used to work with back in my whisky days at Morrison Bowmore, so when the fine crew at Master of Malt said yes to working with us and that they had a single cask of the Garioch to play with… well we jumped at the chance. Marc and I are always talking about how we can put twists on things that will make the whisky and beer pairing really special… we liked the idea of a marmalade pale… and it wasn’t long before we were thinking a whisky infused marmalade pale. Once we got that idea into our heads the beer just had to be brewed. This pale is based on pils, dark crystal, Vienna and terrified wheat. The hops are Admiral, Perle and First Gold.

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.
