When Scottish and Newcastle decided to stop making McEwan’s 80″ in casks at the end of 2006, the Athletic Arms in Edinburgh came up with a novel solution. They got a local microbrewery to brew a clone, to a recipe devised in consultation with regular drinkers at the pub.
What a great idea.
Story from BBC News Online.
An interesting story on BBC News Online – after 500 years without, the island of Colonsay in the Hebrides has a brewery again.
The head brewer at the Colonsay Brewery says they’ll make an India Pale Ale, an 80 shilling and a lager. It’s probably cold enough for good lagering up there, so it might be decent.
