Description
Many moons ago, in the black of the night, Viking invaders were about to attack our hometown of Stirling, when a howling wolf alerted the defenders, who saved the town. We raise a glass to that wolf. The Black Wolf.
Started brewing in January 2004 using the name City of Stirling Brewery. It was initially a sister brewery to Bridge of Allen and Trossachs Craft Brewery. During late 2005 a new company was formed to allow further investment and the brewery name was changed to just Stirling Brewery at the same time. The name then changed to Traditional Scottish Ales Ltd in 2006. The name changed once more in 2014 to its current version.

Cask handpull at The Belvedere, Liverpool. First beer of day 2 of my weekend in Liverpool and not a very promising start. Copper colour, thin off white head. Some fruit, some diacetyl, syrupy in mouth, some hop on end. Not my kind of beer. Some spice in there perhaps. Spice and butter. Nasty. If it wasnβt for The Kinks best of, in the background, I would have left. Oh and the Higsonβs Stout which was next.
