Then I spend almost week in Ukraine in Lugansk city. where found a range of ukrainian beer novelties. Visited Lugansk brewery of course. I tried there only draft beer as far as bottling is temporarily stopped. At the very end of the month I visited plastic fair in Düsseldorf.

Gordon Scotch Ale, (0,33 L; 8,6), Interbrew Belgium, Belgium

Gordon Scotch Ale is my favourite beer in Belgium. Scotch Ale was brewing in the past in Scotland by the order of Beer Marketing company John Martin. Later Interbrew started brewing of this sort. Please, note that alkohol content is very high but beer is easy drinking. In general a lot of strong beers with triple fermentation are brewing in Belgium. The last stage of maturing is going inside bottle and such beer can store unlimited without any preservatives.
