Back to Basics with my first love on Beer Saturday

Hello Hivians and all you beer lovers.

Saturday on Hive of course means it's time to write about the good old amber nectar or Beer and today was no exception.

It was a case of back to basics for me...

Spring in Scotland started so well!

We had sun, sun and more sun, then it went to meh!!!

It was a shame as this weekend not only is it Easter but in Kirkcaldy it is the Links market. The annual market that is Europes longest street market....

It runs from Wednesday to Monday, we havn't been yet but there is Monday as it is a holiday.

Hopefully it will get some sunshine or at least no rain!

In the meantime I have had some beers, these were for some bloody crap issues I had this week.

On Thursday I had my follow up physio appointment in Dunfermline which is a five hour round trip for me. When I wish I did still drive and not give it up to be a conscience planet citizen.

I chose that hospital as they had a hydrotherapy pool which my local hospital does not have...

I went the first time two months ago, and it was closed due to high chlorine levels..

So back I went and closed again. What the fluff.. I don't think it exists.

Well next time, I shall phone and if it is not working then say fluff it!

As I have been swimming like a redfish in our local pool ...

No whales in those calm pleasant waters!

I was brought up on this stuff.

We had two breweries when I was growing up, Tennents with the big red T you saw on the glass and then McEwans.

I probably thousands of pints of McEwan's Export, Tennent's Special and McEwan's Lager throughout the years.

I drank so much McEwan's Export my friends used to say when I was born, I had a full head of hair a Marloro red cigarette in one hand and a can of McEwan's Export in the other hand!

Those were the days!

Yeah long gone are the days when I could quite happily down double digit pints then get up for work as if nothing had happened!

Now I am lucky to finish a can of four 🤣

McEwans Export The deets

I am fluffing McNificent!

McEwan's Export is Scotland's most sold canned ale. It's an export ale known for its smooth, malty flavour and distinctive reddish-brown colour.

It was originally brewed in Edinburgh by William McEwan from 1856 but who the fluff knows who owns it now!

McEwan's Export has an Alcohol By Volume (ABV) of 4.5%

Now it is time for me to finish the fourpack while I prepare chilli beans for tomorrow's Easter meal!
