"A Wee Heavy"
Posted on
As the Scottish Export beer has now been withdrawn from the Samson beer kit range, we have taken on the Brewmaker Scottish Heavy kit to replace it. While writing up the description for the website, we noticed that it had 80/- on the label. We have seen this before in the recipe for Caledonian 80/- that is in Graham Wheeler's book and knew that it had something to do with an ancient tax system, but seeing it again to day encouraged us to look it up to see exacly what it was.
