Odell introduced 90 Shilling, their flagship beer, at the opening party in 1989. For a while, they had been wondering what would happen if they lightened up the traditional Scottish ale? The result is an irresistibly smooth and delicious medium-bodied amber ale. The name 90 Shilling comes from the Scottish method of taxing beer. Only the highest quality beers were taxed 90 Shillings. A shilling was a British coin used from 1549 to 1982. Odell thinks youÆll find this original ale brilliantly refreshing, and worth every shilling.
