Battle 500
commemorative editions

The Strangers Brewing Company has created Pikestaff especially for Battle 500. It will be a traditional Scottish Ale, around 4.2% ABV, with a focus on malt flavours and character, similar to a traditional 80 Shilling but lighter in colour.

 

Scottish brewers in the 1500s were likely to use local flowers in their brews (heather was a famous ingredient in Scottish ales) alongside hops. So, Pikestaff will also have small additions of heather and elderflower in the brew, a nod to what brewing might have been like at the time of the battle.

 

You can pre-order two bottles of beer and a commemorative glass chalice in which to enjoy them, all packaged in a decorative cardboard carry case.

 

The cost of what is certain to be a popular order is just £20. The first deliveries will be made in May 2026.
