Hall of Shame, Whitbread Traditional Draught Bitter

Hall of Shame part 5 An occaisional series devoted to the worst in the world of brewing. Whitbread Traditional Draught Bitter Came across this advert from 1980 the other day. At the time Whitbread had just closed down the Ely and Rhymney Breweries and the keg only factory at Magor (sad to say it's the Editor's nearest beer factory) had opened. Something that got me thinking was the advert...

Details of every batch brewed by Barclay...

Such death notices are poignant. You can imagine the conversation at the bar. "Pint of Best please, Dave" "Sorry, Chas. We won't be having Best Bitter any more." "Bloody Hitler." The...

... Fellow at Wadham College, a senior member of Oxford University Poetry Society and winner of the Whitbread prize in 1995 for his seminal work “Gunpowder”. Ashley has been published in ASH – the Oxford Poetry Society Magazine, but by her own admission, “I’ve been much too windy in the past about sending work out, but that is changing.” We both light a cigarette, and I ask her how she started...
