ABV is the same, and probably the recipe - but I haven’t had the one brewed at Greene King, so what do I know?
Message chriso P beers 7540 º places 736 º 19:14 Mon 8/8/2016 They’re different. Apparently, although the beer was badged as Taylor Walker the contracted producer retained the rights to the recipe. When Greene King took over Taylor Walker they, not surprisingly, decided to use their own beers for the house beers and Westerham got the order of the boot. The beers may be similarly specified but they can’t be the same (unless by a very odd coincidence) because Green King doesn’t have access to the recipe.
Message BlackHaddock P beers 15456 º places 1053 º 01:08 Tue 8/9/2016 So any cask 1730 will now be Greene King and the Westerham version can be retired? <*))))))><
