The latest issue of the CAMRA newsletter What’s Brewing reports that Wells & Youngs have reduced the strength of cask Bombardier from 4.3% ABV to 4.1%. This is hot on the heels of Bateman’s cutting the strength of their flagship XXXB (http://pubcurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2011/03/more-beer-watering.html).
Who needs an anti-drink lobby when the brewers are doing their work for them?
It’s getting increasingly difficult to find any cask beer above 4.5% on the bars of mainstream pubs. On the other hand, there’s no problem amongst the ranks of the premium bottled ales on Tesco’s shelves.
Ironically, there is one of the “Rik Mayall” advertisements for Bombardier immediately below the relevant news item.
