Belhaven Best if you want malt-forward comfort,
Yorkshire Terrier if you want brightness and lift.
Both sit at nearly identical ABV and IBU, but they're built on different philosophies—one leans Scottish warmth, the other English crispness. The choice really comes down to whether you're after a hug in a glass or something that keeps you alert.

Tasting notes
Belhaven Best
Belhaven Best tastes like a Scottish pub floor has been distilled into beer—in the best way. There's a biscuity, almost caramel sweetness that coats your mouth without feeling cloying. The body is surprisingly full for 3.9%, with a gentle dryness at the finish that keeps you reaching for another sip. It's the kind of beer that feels ancient and deliberate.
Yorkshire Terrier
Yorkshire Terrier has this golden clarity that actually tastes like something—honey, light grain, a whisper of floral hops. It's leaner than Belhaven but not thin; there's a mineral snap to it that makes each sip feel intentional. The finish is drier and quicker, which means it won't weigh on you through the evening.
