Named for our friend Sgt. Don McPherson of the Lake County Sheriff's Office and a member of the Army National Guard that went overseas two times before retiring from the guard. This is a Scottish 80 schilling beer. Scotland used to tax the brewer by the amount of sugar they made in their wort, a beer of this strength was taxed at 80 schillings. Brewed with Simpson's Golden Promise malt, a malt that is grown in Scotland, crystal 60 and roasted barley for some complexity. This is also a single hopped beer using US Golding.
