13th April 2011 - Burton

April meeting for the Burton Beer Circle finds us at the usual venue.

Commercial beers from the bar sampled tonight were


  • Rudyard Ruby Mild

  • Joules Slimbering Monk

  • Bass

In addition to the various brews from the members, LL has also promised to bring samples of some very old beers he had recently been party to the discovery of. These 33 year beers had apparantly been stored away at some local brewery / warehouse and lonmg since forgotten till someone came accross them (many hundreds of bottles by all accounts.) These beers were Skol Lager, Silver Jubilee and Easter ales from Ind Coope. There were is suprisingly good condition but had changed over the years so were now quite dark (even the lager) and had taken on an old ale type character. Tests have shown that beer doesn't get stronger over time and these were still known to be around the 5.5% mark they were oginally brewed at.
