The Northern breweries straddle the Pennines and stretch over into Scotland with William Younger.
No surprise that the cheapest beer is from the nationalised Carlisle State Management Scheme. They generally sold their beer 1d per pint cheaper than their rivals. The two keg Milds are noticeably more expensive than the other examples. Though do also have the highest gravities and ABVs.
The common feature most have is a very high degree of attenuation: the average is almost 83% and the highest are over 90%. There’s a great degree of variation in colour from 20, which is pale even for a Bitter, to 105 which is a very dark brown.
