Fast and friendly service. Good food as usual.

|---|---|---|---|
| Cairngorm - Black Gold | 4.40 | | Not a subtle beer strongly flavoured with coffee and chocolate not leaving space for much else. |
| An Teallach - Suilven | 4.30 | | Typical An Teallach beer. Some smoke, slightly sweet, no real hopping. |
| Isle of Skye - Hebridean Gold | 4.30 | | Sour. |
| Isle of Skye - Red Cuillin | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Isle of Skye - Ruby | 4.70 | Not Tried | Looked more dark brown than ruby. |

Absolutely jammed - one hour wait for the restaurant but food served in the bar was fine. Good atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| An Teallach - Crofters Pale Ale | 4.20 | | An undistinguished, easy drinking mid-brown ale. Brewed with lager malts apparently. |
| Bridge of Allan - Glencoe Wild Oat Organic Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Williams Brothers - Fraoch | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Williams Brothers - Grozet | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Busy alehouse with hand pumps working furiously. Restaurant very busy - excellent burritos and enchilladas.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cairngorm - Highland IPA | 5.00 | | Seasonal ale brewed to 5.0% ABV. Light bodied and amber with lasting tight white head. Enjoyable with dry finish but could have done with bolder hopping. Didn't drink it's strength. |
