Days of the Beer, November 12

The beer for today is Schloss Eggenberg MacQueens Nessie.

On November 12, 1933, the first known photo of the Loch Ness Monster was taken, by Hugh Gray.

The Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie, has been seen in the Loch since 565. The latest video of it, "The Holmes Video" was taken in 2007.

As to the beer:

Brewed with Scottish Highland malt, the main ingredient of the world famous whiskies from Scotland, Nessie is called "The whisky among the beers." It's colour is of a reddish touch, alcohol reaching 7,3 % by volume.

Schloss Eggenberg is located in Vorchdorf, Austrai. They brew out of Eggenberg Castle, and have been since the 14th century. Commercial brewing began in 1681, when the property was purchased from a monastery.

Their most famous beer is probably Samichlaus, which is one of the strongest lagers in the world, at 14% abv.

So, for the Loch Ness Monster, have a Nessie.
