The Lady of the Traquair  House will talk about the history of the oldest inhabited house in  Scotland and its brewery.<\/p>\n<p>The tiny Traquair House Brewery is known  today for the excellent Traquair House Ale and Jacobite Ale produced  there &#8211; despite a tiny production of less than 1000 barrels annually,  the beers win accolades ranging from the late Michael Jackson &#8211; &#8220;a touch  of oaky earthiness to balance its dark-malt nuttiness&#8221; &#8211; to five stars  at BevX in 2010 to many medals in the World Beer Championships over the  years.  Traquair ales are made from spring water, Suffolk malt, and East  Kent hops; Traquair is the only UK brewery to complete primary  fermentation in oak vessels.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/gordons_wine_logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" align=\"right\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Beer 101 &#8211; Gordon&#8217;s Wine &#8211; Waltham, Massachusetts:<\/strong> Hoppy, malty, ale, lager?
