Drink % Brewery
Belhaven 80 Shilling 4.2 Belhaven Brewery

80 Shilling is Belhaven''s classic, hand-pulled, cask-conditioned ale. It has a classic red appearance in the glass, with a rich and smooth texture.

Tasting Notes: 

Schiehallion 4.8 Harviestoun Brewery

Like the famous mountain it takes it’s name from, Schiehallion brings intense reward for the sort who like to plant their flag at the very top.

Tasting Notes: The perfectly paired combination of wheat malt and lager malt is our secret for this ‘Champagne of Lagers’, providing an elegant head, luscious lacing and crisp palate. A lingering, fresh, grapefruity finish from the whole pressed hop cones tops it off.
