Perhaps there was no discernible further decline in quality but only 35 from 255 pubs is a pretty miserable proportion — less than 14 per cent. It was first brewed in Manchester in 1778 and quickly gained popularity due to its unique flavor profile. v=1628603498","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Gurkha Premium Lager Beer Bottles 12x660ml - Beer","id":20440703238195,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.

Meanwhile, in 1995 the independent owner of the 450-strong former Boddingtons tied estate, The Boddington Group, was taken over by Greenalls. That feels like a time of financial pressure that would lead to the beancounters changing the recipe. v=1650101606","options":["Size"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":6698724720691,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.Amidst falling sales, Interbrew relaunched the cask product in the North West of England, with an increased strength. The Guardian commented that the company had paid mere asset value for Higsons as the company had been reporting poor profits.

It would be nice to get hold of a former Boddingtons brewer who would be able to shed more light on the yeasts used. There are generally acknowledged to be three reasons why a pub is deleted from the GBG: when a tenant/manager changes; when a pub closes; and when the beer quality is perceived to have fallen. Henry's youngest son, Robert Slater Boddington (1862–1930) had a fifty-year association with the company and oversaw the installation of a bottling hall in the 1920s.This number grew rapidly over the next three years to 79, the height of Boddington’s popularity, with 31 per cent of their tied house estate represented. The brand was once a leading part of the old Whitbread Beer Company, but its fortunes had dwindled since the closure in 2005 of the Strangeways Brewery. My approach was to collate GBG entries for Boddington’s tied houses for the period 1974-1994, with Boddington’s tied houses are defined as the 256 listed in the guidebook Boddington’s published c. Please always read the labels, warnings, and directions provided with the product before using or consuming a product. I came to Manchester in 1982; Boddington’s was pretty thin on the ground, at least in my usual stamping-ground, but Boddies’ bitter was still spoken of in hushed tones (literally – I remember discussing possible pubs with my brother-in-law, visiting from Preston, and his reaction when I mentioned that one of them served Boddies’: well, let’s go there!

It will do nothing for the national economy, add nothing to the nation's exports, and contribute nothing at all to the quality of life that we are all used to enjoy. It is renowned for its golden color, full-bodied flavour and malty, morish taste with smooth, tight creamy head. Boddingtons beer brands are now owned by the global brewer Anheuser–Busch InBev, which acquired the Whitbread Beer Company in 2000. The first Good Beer Guide, 1974, is fairly widely acknowledged, not least by its editor, as an imperfect document. After a few years working in the South-East, I moved back to the North-West at the end of 1984, and by then there was a general feeling that Boddingtons Bitter was a shadow of its former self.Much of the discussion that has occurred centres around when the decline in quality occurred, with a variety of dates being mentioned, spanning the 1970s/80s. There was virtually no overlap between the two companies, and the takeover brought Boddingtons to Merseyside for the first time. By this time Strangeways was producing only two beers, a bitter and a mild, with bitter constituting over 90 per cent of production.

and there seems to have been an element of "we're alright, people will always drink ale" (typified by the Oldham deal in 82) until it went a bit wrong financially in 1982-4 after which the tone was more "well maybe we do need to jump on board the lager bandwagon", leading to the Higson acquisition in 1985.The following year’s guide has “Not so hot” written against it, and my last annotated GBG (89) says “Avoid”.
