At this point Gordon provided us with samples of a variety of beers. Needless to say this was much appreciated and there were numerous comments on each blend. Without doubt this was the most popular part of the proceedings and different Rotarians preferred different beers.
Samples provided included Belhaven Best, Belhaven Black (less bitter & roasted barley), Belhaven Pale Ale produced for the 300th anniversary
Speyside oak aged Blonde ale which was 61/2% and had a warm whisky finish.
