I found the image of the hag on the web, after some research.
I originally was just looking for a NAME for the beer.
My scottish ale will have a bit of a smokey flavor to it, so I started searching for Scottish lore and mythology. After finding a place that had descriptions of fairies, gods, and goddesses I noticed that many of them were associated with one of the four ancient elements (earth, wind, water, fire.)
Since I have the smokey thing planned, I looked for those figures associated with fire. The Gruagach was one that I found. She is a fairy, hideous in apperance, but kind to those who do not judge her by her looks. She is drawn to campfires.
So.. Gruagach was the name I selected.
Then I went to Google, and did and Image Search for "Gruagach". This was one of the pictures that popped up, and I thought it was perfect.
thanks for the compliments on the label. this one is my favorite creation so far.
