Many of the McPubs have long standing regulars that become like family to us. We meet the children, celebrate milestones in their life and know what they like to eat and drink as soon as they walk in. There are also times that these people leave us in passing and our hearts are sad. In honor of one of our long standing regulars, this ale is for one of our favorite men that we had grace the walls of Thompson Brewery. Entering the front door with his beautiful wife by his side, Corkey always had a great smile and would al-ways ask how we all were doing. “What you got cookin in the back kid?” was one of my favorite questions he would ask me. In his honor I have brewed up a Scottish 70-shilling ale for the man who always split his lunch with his gal and would always request just ten French fries with his half. This ale is laid back, mellow, and has a soft hop profile which I felt was a good honor for a great man. Raise a pint to all who have passed. You are always in our hearts and never forgotten.
