Scottish 70 Shilling Ale
In Scotland back in the 1800s, breweries were taxed based on their beers' starting gravity. A 70/- like this was a moderate-strength table beer with a moderate tax burden. But a pint for you? Just a flat $5, and we’ve already paid-off the tax man. Lighter in colour and alcoholic strength than our Scottish 80/-, this is supper beer at its finest: malty and a little caramelly, like cola or candied orange peel or marshmallows over a campfire. Freshly-cut grass, ripe fruit, earthy with a whiff of pipe tobacco. Balanced hop bitterness lends a clean, refreshing finish. Slainte!
