Cask version of McEwan’s 70/- is a beer that’s perfect for drinking with friends. Rich in taste and creamy in texture, it’s an ale that oils the wheels of a night out. Smooth times are ahead.
The shilling categories in our beers’ names have an interesting history. In the nineteenth century the taxman charged a duty in shillings on each hogshead (54 gallons) of beer depending on its strength. The stronger the beer, the more he levied.

Cask at The Malt Shovel, Edinburgh. Dark golden coloured, small white head, rather neutral nose. Sweetish malty, slight herbal and fruity with discreet notes of hops. Short bitterish finish. Easy drinkable but weak.

Sampled cask conditioned. Like an English mild. Soapy with sweetish malta-aroma. One-dimensional.
