Sleeman
Keep yOur eyes skinned for two new bottled beers which wrll be making an appearance in selected bars in the Central Belt soon Sleeman Cream Ale and Sleeman Silver Creek Lager are Canadian beers that have been brewed in Ontario and drunk since the early 1800s.
Sleeman Cream Ale is brewed to combine the refreshing qualities of a German lager with the taste of an English ale lt's light in body, golden in co|0ur and has a smooth taste
The Silver Creek Lager has, as you might expect, a crisper taste and is fire-brewed in copper kettles usmg water drawn from deep wells rn Guelph in Ontario.
Both beers weigh in at a hefty 5% alcohol and come in clear glass bottles embossed with Sleeman’s distinctive maple leaf and beaver insignia
Nicolson's
Edinburgh, 6a Nicolson Street, 557 4567.
The char ges are being rung in no uncertain terms at Nicolson’s, the former dance hall turned restaurant opposite Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre. Until recently, Nicolson’s operated as a bistro/cafe wrth people popping in for coffees and snacks as well as full blown meals. The new regime finds Nicolson’s concentrating their efforts on the lunch and dinner trade, closmg during weekday afternoons yet remaining open all day at the weekends
The other big change has been the introduction of a new lunch menu which is centred around large bowls of food. ’I was over in New York and I went to a restaurant called Lola,’ explains Roland Thomson, the general manager at NicolsOn's 'Next door, they have a restaurant called Lola Bowla which offers Customers a qUicker, more affordable and contemporary interpretation of its food. While Lola has divided its food over two sites we've divided over two menus We wanted to offer something which fits the time and money which peOple have to spend at lunchtime'
The lunch menu is broken down into sections headed salad, rice and noodle bowls. Charred green lipped mussels and baby clams wrth sweet chilli sauce and creme fraiche from the salad range we wrth chicken, ginger, spinach and red onions with Jasmine rice, while the noodle bowls are filled With the likes of bok choy and smoked tofu With cellophane noodles and hOisin ginger stock.
