Now does that explain why they didn't bugger off to Burton with the rest of them? They were not selling enough pale to make it worthwhile.
Had they buggered off to Burton with the rest of them, they might have sold an awful lot more pale ale of course.
Graham, all Barclay Perkins X and K Ales at this were pale in colour.
The Pale Ale trade in London was small until after WW I.
