the_archfiendI heard this bit of ugly news from a friend while we were buying supplies for a going-away party for a couple of friends:
One of these friends is of Scottish descent, so I was looking for an appropriate brew to bring to the party that (1) is actually brewed in Scotland and (2) was less pricy than, say, Traquair or Ola Dubh.
After looking at the shelf section where the Scottish stuff normally would be, I noticed that the McEwan's Scotch Ale was completely gone. Period.
Apparently, McEwan's has lost their distribution rights in the US..
Aaaaaaaaaaargh.
My question to fellow microbrew/import fanciers is this - is this story true? If so, what are the details?
