| MANNS — A HISTORY OF BROWN
ALE |
|
 |
Towards the end
of the 19th century drinkers were
becoming disaffected with the rather sour
porters produced by London's brewers and
new lighter brews started to appear. By
the turn of the 20th century Mild was
very popular and bottled ales were
growing fast. In 1902, Manns Whitechapel
brewery produced the first bottled mild
and brown ale was born. The low gravity
sweet style of brown ale grew strongly
between the war years with many brewers
launching their own Brown Ales. Since the
Fifties mass market brands of bitter and
lager have grown strongly, at the expense
of brown. With brown ale volumes in
decline, most brewers withdrew their
brands, Manns being a notable exception.
Manns Brown Ale — Today: Brewed to
the original Mann's Brewery recipe, this
2.8% ABV ale is now brewed by Thomas
Hardy at Burtonwood. It remains the most
widely distributed brand of the original
style of sweet, low gravity brown ale.
Tasting Note: a dark, sweet, full-bodied
ale, relatively low in alcohol but
delivering a luscious full flavour with
hints of roasted, creamy toffee.
