90/-

I've seen, consumed and enjoyed 90/-, both in bottles and from a tap. There is no mention of it here.

Beer descriptions are confused

Hmmm.. 70 bob as "the real ale version" version of 60 bob? A wee heavy as "mild"? I don't know what McEwans sells these days, but this is just confused Neil Leslie 22:55, 22 October 2007 (UTC).

Ads from early 90s

The ad series from the early 90s was very witty, featuring some Geordies traveling to exotic places, but complaining because they couldn't get any McEwan's Export. Does anyone remember more words to those ads? One started and ended

Florida's horrider than Whitley Bay,
There's no McEwan's Export in the USA
...
Goodbye Mickey Mouse, hello Tyne and Wier,
States nice place, shame about the beer.

Moved page

Moved page from McEwans brewery to McEwans beer as I feel that the brands are more important the brewery and that any information about the brewery should be kept in the history section.Mr Eko Let You Live 21:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

The following line should have been placed in the discussion rather than the article. Note: 70/ and 8% abv are mutually inconsistent. The 70/ may be its International Bitterness Units rating. It can (and currently is being) read from the label at the top of the bottle that the Scotch Ale does in fact have "8.0% alc/vol".

Further more 70/- is NOT its International Bitterness Units rating but stands for shilling hence /- and as far as I can tell 8% is the same as 8.0%
