Another of my short videos. This time looking at Burton Ale, a London staple for the first half of the 20th century. Today, sadly, just a single example exists: Young's Winter Warmer.
I too would also like to know more about stock ales. Were they blended with young beer? Served straight? A little of both? When were the last true Brett aged stock ales made?
ReplyDeleteyou are doing a great job! keep up the good work

ReplyDeleteGreat stuff!
It depended on the type of beer. Some - like Truman Barley Wine - were blended with fresh beer. Others, like Stock Pale Ales, weren't blended.
DeleteThere's always been at least one Brett aged Stock Ale - Greene King XXXXX.
Thanks for the answer. Why didn’t Greene King label that KKKKKK if it’s a keeping beer?
ReplyDeleteSometimes breweries used X's father than ks. Youngs had a strong Burton that was called XXXX.
