Scottish hotel adds 'beer flights' to its menu
Isle of Skye hotel Kinloch Lodge has added "beer flights" to its Michelin-starred menu.
Beer flights are a selection of beers given to customers to try.
Tom and Isabella Eveling, who manage the pub, have picked out 16 beers, which are all Scottish bar one Yorkshire beer.
It is one of the most extensive bottled beer lists of any restaurant in Scotland.
The beer flights have been matched to each dish offered alongsisde the already-established wine flights, malt whisky flights and the "beer and a dram chasers".
Islands of Skye brews Black Isle, Orkney and Arran feature on the list, in addition to Alva, Alloa ad Fraserburgh from the Scottish mainland and Sam Smiths raspberry beer from Yorkshire.
Tom Eveling and head chef Marcello Tully believe offering flights is the best way to match the food to the drinks.
"Choosing the best flights to match each dish has been a real eye-opener," said Eveling.
"People still seem to think that wine is smart and wonderful with food and that, for some unknown reason, beers are not.
"The reaction from our diners has been very positive. Several have expressed both surprise and delight at the pairings, and there has been genuine interest in trying the new experiences which our beer flights offer."
