Stewart's 80/-

Stewart's 80/- is a full-bodied, richly flavoured Scottish Heavy ale with a deep auburn hue. Which delivers notes of malt and dried fruit on the nose, followed by a smooth, creamy texture that defines this traditional style.

The name “80/-” (80 Shilling) harks back to Scotland’s historic beer duty system, where ales were taxed based on their strength and price per barrel. Beers like this one, stronger and more robust, were priced at 80 shillings, distinguishing them from lighter styles such as 60/- (Light) and 70/- (Export). Today, the 80/- remains a beloved symbol of Scottish brewing heritage, offering a warming, flavourful experience that honours its roots.

Perfect for fans of traditional ales, malty beers, and those exploring the rich history of Scottish brewing.

This beer is Gluten Free, making it a great choice for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone exploring gluten-reduced options.

Mini Cask Information

Each mini cask contains 5 litres of fresh cask beer.

How to Use Your Mini Cask

1. Settle Your Cask
Place the mini cask on a sturdy, level surface in a cool spot (around 12°C) with enough space to fit a glass underneath.
Do not refrigerate — serving too cold will deactivate the yeast and result in a flat beer.

Allow the cask to settle for at least 12 hours. We recommend up to 24 hours for best results.
If the cask is moved or disturbed at any point, it will need to re-settle.

2. Vent the Cask
Pull up the red ring pull on top and turn the ventilation tap one quarter turn in the direction of the arrow.
Let the cask sit for another 30 minutes.

3. Pour Your Beer
Without moving the cask, pull out the dispensing tap at the bottom and turn it (in the direction of the arrow) to pour.

4. Storing After Opening
Enjoy your beer and close the ventilation tap when you’re not pouring.
Once the cask has been vented, please drink within 7 days.
