Happy supping.

An article you all ought to read and act upon...
Though i cannot speak for Scotland as regards pubs, i can tell you all that northern ireland is very poor when it comes to decent beer in pubs, never even mind cask ale. Unless you live in Belfast your choice of beer is extremely limited. The only pubs outside of Belfast that serve cask ale are wetherspoons pubs (there is the very odd exception).
