You mentioned a change from beer aged in the pub to aged at the brewery. Did that change the final product which people were drinking? If so, what was the difference?

I'm definitely not an expert on how beers were handled, so I don't have a sense for how much it mattered.

More consistently aged and aged in a controlled way in large vats. It would have produced a better quality beer.
