The Ale
Copyright Irv Graham
You might well ask how the term Toon
Ale came about there are two schools of thought on that
but aahll take you to the start.
When Prince George and his followers first discovered the
place we now know as Geordieland in thanks for their deliverance
out of the wilderness they made a special brew. One fit for
the Gods, The nectar of heaven.
Now it was taboo for any women to sup of this ale, so they
made a second one especially for the wimmen which they gave
the name Toon Spirit thus keeping everything hunky-dory. There
was a saying at the time Lang may there be a glass
of Toon and a chunk of stottie in yer hoose. If not gan aan
bool yer hoop
This is where the aad gadgies disagree. Some say it is spelt
as part of a religious ceremony. Others say that it got its
name from the Glasgow King awakening from his binge.
We may never know wees reet but we do know that the
term Toon Ale was used with reverence for hundreds
of years. Then it became ower popular. Aah blame the tourists
me sel.
