My old office was literally 2 doors down from 21st Amendment in SF. I’ve had the watermelon wheat many times, and it’s just perfect for a warm evening. It’s only available on tap in the summer, and we all look forward to it’s first arrival.

Jeez, Stephen, don’t get your panties in a bunch… the post has been edited since the “Pacific salmon” comments were made.

When’s the last time you saw a Pacific salmon in Scotland? If you can’t put that together, I’ve either been fantastically trolled, or you need to brush up on some geography on Wikipedia.

The Watermelon Wheat Beer by the 21A, is actually a pretty damn good beer. I don’t think most “beer geeks” would have an issue with it, as you suggested. Quite the contrary. For a wheat beer it’s perfect to style. The watermelon enhances those characteristics.

Ah yes. Interesting distinction between whiskey and whisky. This is the first time I’ve run into it, so sorry for the confusion. Great NYT article on it at http://thepour.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/12/04/whiskey-versus-whisky/

Don’t know if it originated in Scotland, but my Scottish grandmother made the finest shotbread cookies in the world – - said it was a family recipie that went back many generations.

Some of the best smoked salmon comes from Scotland, as does lamb.

I’m sorry, but I don’t trust the food of any country that came up with haggis……

Salmon is the common name for several species of fish of the family Salmonidae. Several other fish in the family are called trout; the difference is often said to be that salmon migrate and trout are resident, a distinction that holds true for the Salmo genus. Salmon live in both the Atlantic (one migratory species Salmo salar) and Pacific Oceans, as well as the Great Lakes

It’s on wikipedia folks, and took me 3 seconds to find with a search. Not looking shows someones ignorance, and laziness.
