Good to see the old Higsons name...they had around 40 pub in Merseyside/ Cheshire serving bitter n mild on cask...they were actually taken over by Boddingtons in 1985 and Whitbread took over Boddies and that was the end...big fan of brown ale..I look for this Andy👍🍺

I haven't launched the website in a big way Duncan, just my way of adding more noise to the beer and the beer industry. Another fun outlet for me because I do like to write sometimes 👍🍻

Another good review Andy. I find Brown Ales too sweet for me. Back in the 17th century, Brown Ale, or a version of it, was the predominant style, especially in London but quickly died out during the 18th century due to the rise of Pale Ale. I don't think anyone was brewing Brown Ale by the start of the 19th century. Mann reinvented the style sometime between the late 19th and early 20th century (dates differ depending on sources) but it didn't take off until the 1920s when other Brown Ales appeared such as the Newcastle Brown. This was because Brown Ale was back then always a bottled beer and people had lost confidence in cask, which is a whole other story. Interesting tit-bit: Porter is a sibling, so to speak, of the old Brown Ale.

I really don't mind a good quality one, I can cope with teh sweetness if it isn't too over done! It was still be brewed in the 19th century, there is a little evidence that a brewer where I live had a Brown Ale on their books in the mid 19th century. I know Mann seemed to popularise it again. I'm pleased its now here to stay, it can be a very refreshing pint 👍
