Featured Fare & Libations of the Week

Featured Ale:

"Scott"land's Terror Scotch Ale

A wee bit heavy, typically sweet and malty
with a subdued dose of hops. Its notoriety
can be traced to one fateful night at the
Swashbuckler Public House. For here, Duncan McManly, the most famous resident of the Boarding House, was again toasting his good fortune with a “Scott”land Ale. In the cave-like darkness of this eve, the aged, not-so-nimble boarder slipped on a Scotch egg, cracked his skull on the bar and settled in for a long dirtnap. Quaff a stein in honor o’ the passing of Duncan McManly!

Mince and Taddies: A popular Scottish meal of minced beef and mashed potatoes...$5.00
