Gone for a Burton

Though in recent years I've very rarely seen Ind Coope Burton Ale the knowledge that it was still being produced has been a comfort to me on the long, cold and lonely Winter nights.

But no more:

It's official -- Carlsberg have finally pulled the plug on Draught Burton Ale. Lovely beer, under-promoted, one more for the graveyard.

A truly great beer has been killed off. Time for some wailing and gnashing of teeth I think. I'll pass on the rending of garments though, it's a bit chilly for that.
