Church Street Scottish Ale The Tale of the Shony Scottish Ale

Church Street Brewing Company's Scottish-style ale, The Tale of the Shony, is a darkly-colored robust brew with notes of sweet caramel, chocolate, and roasted barley. As traditionally made, this Scottish-style ale is strong, full bodied and malty. The name comes from a tradition in centuries past when the Northern Celts would make offerings of ale to the Shony, a local water spirit, in order to ensure a plentiful crop. Sadly, the custom dictated that they pour the beer into the ocean. We hope you enjoy this beer on land, not in the water.
