Have about 30 pints of beer made with bog myrtle instead of hops conditioning. Tried it yesterday and it is thin but seems pleasant. I used a light malt. Will be plying others with it after the weekend, interesting to see what they think of it.
Bog Myrtle beer

One of my friends made a barrel of that one year, he used barley and honey, and it was absolutely lovely

I had some Beer made from Myrtle (amongst other things) in Corsica. It was very nice : http://www.brasseriepietra.com/en/beers/colomba/
William's Brothers do a few ales with Bog Myrtle in but to my taste the flavour isn't that noticeable, still good beer mind: http://www.williamsbrosbrew.com/

William's Bros do some beautiful ales We had a ceilidh in Galgael before the millenium and Fraoch was £1 a bottle....t'was a verrry good night
Clann an drumma (in their original config before Albannach) were playing. Impossible to sit or stand still when they're on
I made sweet gale tincture (intended to be used as an anti midge ingredient) and took it along to a meet up. Someone (we'll spare his blushes) drank it
Said he could taste it for days

Funny what one drank in one's youth, once I had a bottle of beer I found opened at a party and noticed an increasingly strong nicotine flavour from the dog-end someone had dropped into it as i got near the bottom.
Some years ago I went to a medeival festival at a local country park, and had a pint of bog myrtle and honey beer (strictly an ale, since beer has to have hops) and it was one of the finest pints I have ever had.
