I have often wondered whether the bottled beers you mention are actually brewed to a stronger recipe than their cask equivalents, or whether the cask variants are just watered down versions of the higher strength bottled brews.<br /><br />I’m not condoning the practice of standardising strengths between cask and bottled variants; particularly when the breweries concerned don’t offer the appropriate reduction in price, but from a logistical and economical point of view I suppose it makes sense.<br />Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-41563981407969060412014-12-10T11:56:48.245+00:002014-12-10T11:56:48.245+00:00Well yes, I'll have to check the ABV of every ...Well yes, I'll have to check the ABV of every bottle I pick off the shelves to make sure it hasn't been stealthily watered down.<br /><br />Of course, those who praise beer as "a low-strength drink" will welcome this trend.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-28876863533845807432014-12-10T11:08:07.331+00:002014-12-10T11:08:07.331+00:00Oh noes!!!!
