Celebrating good news with Ossian and it's Hoppy, zesty and refreshing!
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!!
Today we are going to Inveralmond in Scotland
Inveralmond brewery is in Perthshire in the East of Scotland.
Inveralmond Brewery is now part of the Innis & Gunn family and has been making beers since 1997.
Celebrating good news.
After what seemed like an eternity I recently got some biological medicine that you self inject fortnightly to maybe treat some of my arthritis.
I felt like celebrating with a Golden Ale!
Who needs champagne bubbles when you can have golden beer bubbles!
Ossian golden ale!
As the label says, Ossian is a refreshing (and I can vouch for that) golden ale.
Ossian has received multiple awards, including recognition as Champion Beer of Scotland for its cask version and a Silver award at the Scottish Beer Awards for its bottled version.
Fine stuff indeed!
Did you see the bubbles ... golden it is.
Who the fluff is Ossian?
First of all, there is a stone called "Ossian's Stone" which is ten miles from the brewery and is believed to mark the resting place of Ossian.
Ossian was a legendary warrior from the 3rd century and was the son of Fingal (also known as Finn MacCool or Fionn mac Cumhaill).
It was a tasty beer and I had my lips licking while I got some more inspiration from another #beersaturday post of mine.
Cheers to a fantastic community in Hive and a wonderful initiative!
Cheers 🍻
Now just a quick soft beef taco makes for a wonderful appetiser with this golden ale!
Ossian is a perfect accompaniment to food!
My verdict
I love smooth and tasty beers. I do love fruits and Ossian has lemon and orange in there.
I did mention earlier that it was refreshing. Well it fluffing well is. It also has malts in there and overall it makes for a smooth blend and it just flows down your throat so easily!
The deets
Note these are summarised from my Gemini AI account.
Characteristics:
ABV (Alcohol By Volume): 4.1%
It uses a blend of hops, including First Gold, Cascade, and Fuggles.
The malt base includes pale ale malt, caramalt, and wheat.
Posting about a beer on a Saturday on the Beer Community ....
Cheers to the golden ale and cheers to Ossian
It's a whole bunch of fun, so check out The #BeerSaturday Challenge - Week 402 from the one and only @detlev.

You have the ability to make me envious, Ed! From the descriptions: it must be an excellent beer. I can't see a better way to spend a Saturday night than having a delicious cold beer with a nice piece of meat. I salivate like Pavlov's dog.
I, too, welcome this new treatment, Ed!!! Hugs of golden bubbles.
It was a good beer. I still prefer my dark beers but this was a good golden beer.
I think you are waiting to hear the growls Nancy 🤣
Five big Sunday hugs coming your way Nancy. Another nerve wracking football game today!
It must taste so nice isn't it?
I don't drink anymore, but it is interesting to know that they still remember Ossian after that very long time.
very interesting piece of story.

It did taste nice and refreshing. Too easy to drink a whole glass in one gulp 🤣🤣🤣
You are right, I think it is great that folklore is still celebrated!
Congrats and the beer looks delicious!
thanks and oh yes it was a tasty one!
Cheers! To you! 🍻
Thanks man
Hello @tengolotodo!
This brand of beer looks delicious!
It must be delicious when cold!
Cheers!
Yes it really was delicious cold. The perfect drink at the time!
Good!
Cheers!
Hehehe, I've taken a lot of shots, beer and photos but couldn't find the words to write😤😬. Food is enough or there's dessert that follows?
Do you know, I very rarely eat dessert at home! Maybe that is why I always make sure I have it when I go out 🤣 Let's get those words sorted for you!
😛😌
I'm glad your arthritis is suffering less.
Is that beer you mentioned craft beer, or is it from large breweries?
Here in Venezuela, a few breweries hold the majority of the beer market, the largest being Polar. Large breweries don't use fruit juice in their beers; those types of combinations are made by artisanal breweries, which have a very, very small market.
Thanks for sharing, dear @tengolotodo . A big hug from Maracay.
It is a small brewery so I think you could call it a craft beer. It is not mass produced that is for sure.
It was a tasty beer Irvin. Wishing you a happy Sunday.
cheers! happy beer saturday! :)
Cheer and wishing you a great day 🍻
