It's help Martyn Cornell weekend here at SUABP. Here's another oldDutch advert supporting his assertion that Burton Ale isn't Pale Ale.

Take a look at this:

Het Nieuws van den dag, 3rd June 1891.

See there at the bottom? Four beers from Bass, including Pale and Burton Ale. Clearly Bass didn't see them as the same thing. And, at 20 cents a bottle, Burton was more expensive than Pale Ale.

Coincidentally, a good snapshot of Heineken's products before they became a Pils-only (just about) brewer. Beijersch was a dark Lager, in case you're wondering. Intirguing that Van Vollenhoven brewed two Stouts.

Here's another slightly earlier advert, with India Pale Ale and Burton Ale clearly differentiated:

Dagblad van Zuidholland en 's Gravenhage, 10th December 1868.

Can we agree Burton Ale and Pale Ale or IPA were completely different types of beer, that just happened to both be brewed in Burton?https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5445569787371915337-220509699209371664?l=barclayperkins.blogspot.com
