I'm less fussed about this sort of thing but reckon I'd much prefer the full strength Broadside in cask than the weaker version :)Yvannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280044379124455706.post-19950529468952305152015-05-04T18:01:46.074+01:002015-05-04T18:01:46.074+01:00Thank you for replying so swiftly Paddy - much app...Thank you for replying so swiftly Paddy - much appreciated.<br /><br />Differentiating the products in this way sounds like a good idea, thanks.<br /><br />As I say, I do enjoy your beers, including Magna Carta 7.2% (haven't tried the 4.0% yet) and frequently recommend them to others, especially when writing festival programme notes. <br /><br />The name/ABV thing is a personal bugbear of mine that I probably obsess about way too much when I should be drinking instead... so keep up the good work!

Thanks again for you pointing out that it was possible to be confused.

We certainly have not set out to deceive anyone and felt that our advert which emphasises two Magna Carta's was clear, though your response shows that we were wrong.<br />So how did this come about and what can we do about it? Magna Carta's unique ingredients have been developed following a competition we held with London Amateur Brewers and the winner was Manhohan Birdi. I'm sure you know that the beer is very special in that it uses some 'medieval' beer ingredients including Liquorice and wild handpicked herbs from beside the river Thames close to Runneymede. These include for example Yarrow.We produced the beer as a 7.2% Barley wine and reaction from samplers has been very positive.<br />However , both out Trade customers (pubs) and our drinkers all fed-back that whilst this was an interesting and special beer, that they wanted to experience it at a strength that they could enjoy having as pints in their local. They were keen that the beer was to the same set of ingredients as they wanted the same very special and unusual character. As a result we developed the 4% version which uses exactly the same ingredients in exactly the same proportions. This has been met with a very positive reaction both from pubs who are ordering large amounts and from our drinkers who feed-back to us. In both cases, they have been pleased that we reacted to what they said they wanted.<br />However, whilst we have been very clear in the supporting briefing notes to the Trade I have to accept - from your confusion- that we still haven't been clear enough. To this end I'm seeing if we can source some special Pump-clip toppers that can emphasise that this is a 4% version and also to differentiate it from the barley wine. I will get back to you when I have got something in place.<br />In the meantime, genuine thanks for raising this issue. We wouldn't have known there was an issue if people don't tell us. Give me a couple of days and I'll update you, Regards, Paddy - Head Brewer- Windsor and Eton Brewery <br /> PaddyWEBREWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02594759839705321083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5280044379124455706.post-67134756192408551812015-04-30T11:20:59.083+01:002015-04-30T11:20:59.083+01:00I concur!

Look at this brown shit', even though it had been rubbed with gold tinted paint. It would be much better to make the difference between your common or garden shite, and the much improved brass shite. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
