True, very true, it would be interesting to know though

what it's strength was back then

Morning all, It's a dark wet rainy morning here, just like a Summers day then

Good wet morning all - bah gum it's sopping today. Can't believe how quickly the snow has melted - it's virtually all gone, even the huge mound I dumped in the back garden.
On the subject of the strength of old fashioned Broon Ale - I'm pretty certain it was originally in excess of 6%ABV - nowadays I think it's only 4.5%ABV - so a fair bit weaker.
I'm off to Wickes to buy a couple of interior doors - cheaper in-store than on their website

I have it on good authority that Newcastle Brown Ale was originally 6.25%ABV and is now 4.5% ABV - so definitely nowhere near as strong as it used to be

My late father liked his beer,none of this new fangled lager drink. He always said "There is no such thing as a bad pint,your stomach is off".
