点评:After our stroll along the coast to Duncansby Head and back, the need for a good pint and a bite to eat was in order.
Not a difficult decision in John O'Groats, the John O'Groats Brewery was just across from our hotel.
The beer was excellent a couple of pints of their Golden Groat, along with a great selection of snacks. Although there is a wider range of beers available if you want to spend your time tasting. The last time I had beers like this was many years ago as a student and member of CAMRA in Oxford.
Really great atmosphere with a cosy real fire. The whole set up is really great from the old style bar to the excellent gift shop and visitors centre.
They have really done a great job of revitalising the iconic "Last House" in the heart of the town. Dating back to before 1700, the “Last House” is the oldest surviving building in John O’Groats and is known to have housed descendants of Jan de Groot, the Dutch ferryman, who the village of John O’Groats is named after.
When the cottage was first constructed it had a thatched roof. However In 1913, this was removed and replaced with Caithness slates, as you see today. It's the type of building known in the Highlands as a “but-an-ben”. Referring to a single story design for a two roomed cottage.
The John O’Groats Brewery is an artisan brewery. They are producing some of the finest craft ales, using only the beautiful unspoiled waters from the highlands of Scotland. All the beers are produced with attention to detail and created in small batches within the village of John o Groats on the North coast of Britain.
If you are visiting or staying in John O'Groats this one of the places not to miss. We only had one evening, but it was probably the best of our tour through Scotland.

翻译:沿着海岸漫步到邓肯斯比角 (Duncansby Head) 再返回后,我们急需一杯好啤酒和一些小吃。
在约翰奥格罗茨 (John O'Groats),这根本不是什么难题,约翰奥格罗茨啤酒厂 (John O'Groats Brewery) 就在我们酒店对面。
啤酒非常棒,我们点了两品脱金格罗特 (Golden Groat) 啤酒,还搭配了各种美味小吃。当然,如果您想慢慢品尝,这里还有更多种类的啤酒可供选择。我上次喝到这么棒的啤酒还是很多年前,当时我还在牛津读书,也是 CAMRA(英国真正啤酒协会)的成员。
这里氛围极佳,还有温暖舒适的壁炉。从古色古香的酒吧到精美的礼品店和游客中心,整个环境都非常棒。
他们确实出色地完成了对镇中心标志性建筑“最后一栋房子”(Last House) 的改造工作。 “最后一栋房子”(Last House)的历史可以追溯到1700年以前,是约翰·奥格罗茨现存最古老的建筑,据说曾是荷兰摆渡人扬·德·格鲁特(Jan de Groot)的后裔居住的地方,约翰·奥格罗茨村正是以他的名字命名的。
这栋小屋最初建成时是茅草屋顶。然而,在1913年,茅草被拆除,换成了凯斯内斯石板,也就是您今天看到的屋顶。这种建筑在苏格兰高地被称为“but-an-ben”,指的是两室小屋的单层设计。
约翰·奥格罗茨啤酒厂是一家手工啤酒厂。他们只使用苏格兰高地纯净的泉水,酿造出一些最优质的精酿啤酒。所有啤酒都注重细节,并在英国北海岸的约翰·奥格罗茨村小批量生产。
如果您正在游览或居住在约翰奥格罗茨,这里绝对是您不容错过的景点之一。我们只在这里待了一个晚上,但这或许是我们苏格兰之旅中最棒的体验。
