Why “85 Shilling” you may ask? Well, back in “olde” Scotland, ales cost 60, 70, 80, and 90 shillings. The more expensive the ingredients, the greater the cost. You’ll find our version of this classic to be always toasty, always rich, and yes, caramel-ly! The secret: Imported Scottish yeast. And for those of you taking notes, it’s the higher finishing gravity that brings a classic toffee and caramel sweetness…which all great Scottish ales are famous for. So while we think our version is worth 85 shillings, we won’t charge a shilling over 80. Honest.
