Dark Munro is Scottish champion beer

June 15, 2007: Highland Brewery's Dark Munro (4% ABV) has been named Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) Champion Beer of Scotland at the Scottish Traditional Beer Festival, staged in the Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh.

Highland Brewery was founded in January 2006 by Rob Hill, a brewer with 25 years experience. He said: “I am absolutely over the moon. Dark Munro has been selling extremely well as it is a very drinkable ale with loads of malt and a wonderful balance of flavour at around 4% ABV.”

CAMRA's regional director for Scotland, Ken Davie, said: “The judges agreed all the eight beers in the final were in very good condition and well presented, and the score was extremely close. But Dark Munro was the deserving winner and the years of experience Rob Hill has in brewing shone through in this fantastic, traditional style Scottish dark ale.”
