Shetlands Lerwick Brewery, brewers of 60North and Skippers Ticket, are launching a new beer on 18 August 2014 Tushkar.
It is the Brewerys first oatmeal stout.
Celebrating the Shetland Islands heritage of peat cutting, the beer is named after the implement which Shetlanders use to cut peats from the barren hillsides.
With very few trees on Shetland, Shetlanders have relied on peat as their main source of fuel for thousands of years.
Also called a tusker, tuskar, tushker, toysker, or tuisker,
