Burton upon Trent, Beer and Brewing
To welcome the new blog, a new beer! Dual Diamond is brewed by Burton Old Cottage Beer Company and is a 4.5% ABV Burton Pale Ale which is brewed in homage to the old Ind Coope ale Double Diamond. There was a firkin at The Weighbridge last week which I am told sold out very quickly, as soon as the pump clips arrive this will start appearing in the town. Try a pint, it works wonders!
The Beertonian is a blog dedicated to promoting the beer, brewing and pub scene in Burton upon Trent. Written by local historian Ian Webster (author of “Brewing in Burton upon Trent” and “Ind Coope & Samuel Allsopp Breweries: The History of the Hand”), the blog will feature news and articles about the town’s pubs and breweries.
Do you run a pub? Having a quiz, a beer festival, a band on, an interesting guest beer? The Beertonian will publicise you for free, please email ianjohnwebster@gmail.com.
There will also be features on the town’s breweries, find out what they brew and what they are planning to brew.
