Innis & Gunn, Oak Aged Like No Other Beer
 Each year on 25th January, Scots worldwide pay tribute to a national luminary with festivities including a traditional feast of “haggis, neeps and tatties” to mark the great poet and balladeer’s presumed birthday. Whilst Innis & Gunn beautifully complements the spiciness of a traditional Burns Night haggis, the alternative spread offers a lighter yet still delectable option for those honouring Scotland’s best-loved bard.
Dougal Sharp, Managing Director of Innis & Gunn, says: “Robbie Burns was a champion of the people, his life and work is celebrated worldwide to this day. His poetry still draws together those from all walks of life to unite for Burns Night; to eat, drink and enjoy the company of friends. Revellers around the world will enjoy our Oak Aged Beer on Burns Night, and we thought that this alternative Burns Night menu would appeal as another option to the more traditional haggis, neeps and tatties on this special night.”
The oak ageing of the Innis & Gunn imparts fresh fruity, oaky flavours, creating a perfect match for soft and hard cheeses including mature and smoked cheddars, softer cheeses like Brie or Cambazola, or firm goat’s cheeses. Made from full-fat Guernsey cow’s milk, the Kintyre Brie from Howgate has a creamy, buttery taste.
