I'd call it a Burton."</i><br /><br />I have a growing suspicion, with no real and actual evidence to back it up, that London brewers started calling their own strong ales "Burton ale" in the latter part of the 19th century to cash in on the popularity of genuine Burton Ale from the likes of Bass, Allsopp, Worthington and Salt, just the same way that brewers started calling (or seem to have started calling) any bitter of about 1060-1065 OG "IPA" to cash in on the popularity of Burton IPAs. Any evidence in the brewing logs to show if "London" ale was different from the brews sold as "Burton" ale?Martyn Cornellhttp://zythophile.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-1430674422018943142010-12-03T03:04:13.015-08:002010-12-03T03:04:13.015-08:00Nice one!Nice one!SilkTorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06772469745606893884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-30229205902660790782010-12-03T01:14:58.350-08:002010-12-03T01:14:58.350-08:00Neil it would make a very interesting interview ab...Neil it would make a very interesting interview about historical brewing by Ron for the brewing network??Oblivioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184794716327407609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-89762837883956656312010-12-03T01:13:02.407-08:002010-12-03T01:13:02.407-08:00Congratulations ron, cant wait to try itCongratulations ron, cant wait to try itOblivioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184794716327407609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-43758095260937625992010-12-02T23:32:17.666-08:002010-12-02T23:32:17.666-08:00And the recipe is?And the recipe is?Korevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837121239930238616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-66594938095640156052010-12-02T17:41:03.925-08:002010-12-02T17:41:03.925-08:00Awesome, Ron!

Something called Strong Old Ale looks very much like XXK. It was sold by the barrel. The only bottled beers were Pale Ale and India Pale Ale.<br /><br />Which doesn't necessarily mean XXK was never bottled. A lot of bottling was carried out by third parties.<br /><br />There probably would have been a brett presence, either from the pitching yeast or the vats.Ron Pattinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095189986589865751noreply@blogger.com
