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.

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.
