In need of a bigger blackboard

The last weekend of August is always a hectic and busy weekend here at Clachaig. The weather has been miserable of late and this weekend was no exception!! As horrible as the weather was it was nice and cosy in the boots bar, and with a full range of cask-conditioned ales and 170 different malts to choose from, it was never going to dampen the spirits of the Clachaig faithful!


Friday night was a great night, with the Shananigin boys raising the roof with their folky, rocky vibes. Their really funny guys and not half bad musically so a fantastic night was had by all. Ale of the night was Red Cuillin, brewed by the Isle of Skye Brewery it is a classic, smooth and malty, very moreish. As our customers found out!!

Saturday night saw Clachaig favourite Davie Tait grace the Boots Bar stage with his eclectic mix of folk and rock classics, with a couple of more leftfield numbers thrown in. With a full range of 15 cask ales on offer, and all tasting great, it was hard to pick the ale of the night. But once again proving to be a really wonderful tipple, was Cairngorm Brewery’s Trade Winds. A really citrusy refreshing pint, perfect for the session, the pints flew off the bar!

All in all a fantastic weekend was had by all, if only the sun had put his hat on!
