Aviators like blue skies.
This ale was produced to celebrate the centennial of IV Squadron R.A.F. in 2012. Only 150 bottles were produced.
A small batch indeed!

This beer has been brewed to raise funds for the R.A.F. Association, a charity, which supports needy RAF families and ex-RAF members.
There are also some commemorative wines being sold to benefit the RAF Association.
This beer has been brewed to celebrate the R.A.F.'s centenary.
The brewery have written this about it,"To help with the naming of the beer we turned to Baz Dale (Wg Cdr Retired and Director of RAF Benevolent Fund Scotland) for inspiration. After a few beery conversations and some historical research, it was clear that the Hurricane was an aircraft that had been hidden in the shadow of the Spitfire for too long! Contrary to popular belief, it was the Hurricane’s stability, turn around time and numbers, not the Spitfire’s speed, agility and grace, that gave the RAF the edge in the Battle of Britain."

The Hurricane was the backbone of the Battle of Britain while the Spit got all the glory!

From the same brewery there is also:
The brewery's comment about this is," This beer is named after the aircraft flown by Al and Nigel during their RAF careers. The ABV of 6.7% is a nod to 617 Squadron on which they both served. Al and Nigel still manage part-time roles at RAF Lossiemouth as Flight Simulator Instructors training pilots in a Tornado simulator."
Another of their beers is
The brewery's comment about this is," This beer was launched to commemorate the arrival of the Typhoon aircraft to RAF Lossiemouth in 2014. RAF Lossiemouth is one of the largest and busiest fast-jet bases in the UK. It is primarily responsible for maintaining Quick Reaction Alert (Interceptor) North (QRA(I)N) duties, providing crews and aircraft at high states of readiness 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to police UK airspace and to intercept unidentified aircraft."
They also produce a beer called Chinook.
Here is another drink to celebrate the R.A.F. centenary. It is not beer but I think that Flying Officer Kyte would approve because it is Mary le Bone gin.

I am sorry, Rob, but the photographs of drinks, which I find, do not usually have a price attached.
This whisky remembers the Vickers VC 10.
This whisky marks the centenary of 120 Squadron R.A.F. but it is not cheap at £120 per bottle.

I have not managed to find a fifth one yet, Karl. They may be planning to release one later in the year.
In the meantime, today's offering is
Found this at my local premium grocery store last night - if it's been shown before on the thread, I apologize...
Quite the tasty bier, actually - heavier than a traditional lager but not quite a dunkel...Der Kaiser waere stolz darauf...
All the best,
Matt
These guys were set up behind our tent today.
What were the organisers trying to tell us about war gamers and gin???
No, we have not had that drink before, Matt. That was a good 'find'.
Thank you for your offerings too, Paul.
