The changing of a Burton (part two)

Still banging on about Whitbread Burton Ale and how it transmogrified over the years.

These are the malts. Quite a bit of switching around.

I've been down the pub tonight with my mates will and Lucas. Which is why I'm not going into any complicated explanation. Bit knacked and wet. It was pissing it down here earlier.

I'll be boring you with the sugars tomorrow.

(Unless I can think of something better to do.)
