Fraoch

Heather Ale

Who were the ancient Picts? Did they come from Atlantis or from UFOs? Were they tiny like Hobbits, or massive barbarian He-Men? Were they druids or feminists? Nobody knows, but one thing we do know is that they drank heather ale, because people have been drinking heather ale in Scotland since 2000 BC, and they drank it right up until the English made them stop. Now you can drink it again if you can find a bottle of Fraoch, which is actually the Gaelic word for “heather,” which means it's not what the Picts called it because they spoke Pictish, not Gaelic.
