O.... k... then....
May be a little moot anyway, I went to waitrose to pick up a couple of bottles this aft and noticed that they looked slightly different. Now it says (with some degree of - misplaced - pride) 'Now brewery-conditioned so you don't get all that nasty sediment in the bottle'.
****!

They've recently had to out-source their bottling, so maybe this is due to this...

I believe they still do the "live" stuff in the brewery shop, maybe online too.
I too was sorely miffed!

T.E.A? Not in the glossary!
Sorry Jim, should've written it out in full .. if you see a bottle anywhere (especially the bottle-conditioned one) grab it, it's a rather good pint
Nice ... If they're handing it out I'd like some
Plan!

:cry: My all time favourite beer is dumbing down :cry: :cry:
It was something they had to do because the supermarkets were sending back batches, after customers complained that the beer was "cloudy" (having utterly failed to read the damn bottle) - it got so expensive that they didn't have much choice, sadlysimonranson said:
Some of their smaller beers are still conditioned, but all the big ones - TEA, OTT, BSA and friends - are not, even from the brewery shop. To be fair to them, they've done a pretty good job, but it's still sad to see.

I say leave the yeast in the bottles and educate the dickhead's that are complaining, and don't know what's good practise and what's not.
Camra keep taking peoples money, so it is time to get them out spreading the word in the supermarkets.
Bottle conditioned beer is better than "filtered force carbonated Horse ****".
I love Hogsback T.E.A. by the way a cracking bottled beer.

Amen to that. I can see it now; 30 or so years of good work to get proper real ale into the mainstream all down the pan because breweries decide (again) that people want to drink homogenized, boring beer that all tastes the same.
To be fair, it's not something the breweries are really pushing; it's the consumers (or rather, the supermarkets in the face of an ignorant consumer). Bit yeah, it's definitely something CAMRA should be acting on...Ceejay said:Amen to that.
