Parti-gyled with the Best Malt Ale I published a few days ago was this beer called CA in the brewing book. Which I’m guessing stands for Coronation Ale, a beer I know that they brewed, as I’ve seen a label for it. Though it may not have been marketed as that. As it looks suspiciously like the Old Nick from 1975.

I’m fairly sure that this was an exclusively bottled beer. Though they may have filled up the odd pin for a special occasion. There wasn’t a great deal o fit brewed. This batch was just 30 barrels along with 279 barrels of Mild.

The finishing gravity is very high. Or at least the racking gravity is. It’s possible that there could have been further conditioning in tank before bottling.
