A quick heads up to all Worthington White Shield devotees;
the beer is currently on offer at Waitrose with three bottles available for a fiver.
This represents quite a saving on the usual retail price of £1.99 a bottle, and
is the first time I have ever seen this iconic beer discounted. Needless to
say, I’ve stocked up on a few bottles and will be getting some more before the
offer ends.
I wrote quite a lengthy piece on this historic Burton Pale Ale
back in March, so I won’t repeat myself, apart from saying today’s White
Shield is a far less complex beer than the one I remember drinking back in
the 70’s and 80’s. I suspect this is due to the brewers making the beer far
more foolproof as, unlike the old White Shield, the current version pours
bright virtually right down to the last drop. This is indicative of very little
additional conditioning occurring in the bottle; but perhaps this is the price
of fame?
Anyway, if you want to pick yourself up a little bit of
history, why not take advantage of this special offer and grab yourself a few
bottles of this iconic brand.
