Recipes are reformulated over time and brewing techniques are updated. Any beer "brewed since 1871", is not the beer is was back then. It is either a nice beer or it isn't.<br /><br />The interesting bit about this is that 2 different products from the same company bear the same brand. That is either poor branding or it reflects the power of the product brand over the brewery brand. Not sure which.Cooking Lagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830924433230427226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-24080870707166466172011-01-30T22:55:02.138+00:002011-01-30T22:55:02.138+00:00Landlord is bizarrely weaken in the bottle at 4% c...Landlord is bizarrely weaken in the bottle at 4% compared to the cask 4.3. <br /><br />The reason that many bottled beers have the strength bumped up is that the higher carbonation in bottled makes beers taste thinner compared to cask.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13844169940650659196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-47529609906018256332011-01-30T18:45:25.204+00:002011-01-30T18:45:25.204+00:00Actually I thought Landlord was the same strength ...Actually I thought Landlord was the same strength in bottles as on cask - 4.3%.

Personally I love a pint of pippin, but for me there just that little bit better from the bottle.

It is claimed to have a higher hop rate as hop character can be subdued in bottled beers.<br /><br />IMV a very good beer, but sadly no longer available in Stockport Tesco - perhaps selling it at an exorbitant price and never having it on offer didn't help.Curmudgeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558747878308766840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5623537812609722663.post-70821113462783619312011-01-30T15:39:48.603+00:002011-01-30T15:39:48.603+00:00I read some years back that a bottled version of a...I read some years back that a bottled version of a cask beer had to be considerably stronger or would taste thinner than the original. I don't recall the scientific reason but I think the statement was made by the brewer at Coniston. I'll see if I can find out more.Birkonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797631050700297107noreply@blogger.com
