It's interesting that the name might not go a lot earlier than that, but it could be that the branding really took off quickly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-27142701711597683622021-10-05T05:38:14.359-07:002021-10-05T05:38:14.359-07:00A drinker would have expected a Burton Ale to be s...A drinker would have expected a Burton Ale to be strong and aged.

But by 1873 the ads for both Ind Coope and Salt separate EIPA and Burton Ale into two separate products.
