Cream Ale you will struggle with without going to the States. Again London and go to The Maple Leaf pub in Covent Garden and you should get this

Which used to be available at Beers of Europe.

Beers of Europe still list it although at the moment it says Out of Stock.

All my Sahti’s have come from Chriso tastings, try contacting Patrik, http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=19328
for a trade.

Polotmavy, all my ratings have come from Czecho apart from a couple of random bottles in London.

Scottish Ale, well you have to go to ’Murica where they do such things. I’m sure someone would happily do a trade.

And by the way, you give the nicest corrections of any Ratebeerian.

Which is one of the things I love you for.

Actually "for which I love you," if I’m being grammatically correct.

Or "correct grammatically."

Oh Jeez, please, shoot me now.

Dark Star had one that was classified as a Sahti here but that was while back and I think it is a one-off

To my knowledge the only Finnish Sahtis that are commercially bottled are Lammin & Finlandia. Mostly they are consumed locally from tap or handbottle into PET bottles or the like, often with very restricted release timings and have a very short shelf life.

I have the same problem with Faro. Stirchley and Cotteridge always seem to be sold out when I ask them. I am missing the ones you are missing too. If I come across any I will get you a bottle on top of mine.
