The Borough produces the nation’s finest beer, produced in the nation’s finest county! Strangely, you forgot to mention Staffordshire's and Burton's greatest creation - Marmite. The beer - although excellent and nearly as good as some Scottish ales - is a mere support act to this epicurean colossus.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2019-12-14 16:48	This is, of course, partially incorrect. Water that has been strained through peat that has been flavoured with haggis urine may be excellent for the creation of Scotch Whisky, but is totally wrong for the brewing process. The gypsum substrate around Burton undoubtedly contributes to the flavour of the world’s finest ales and beers, with added piquancy from the River Trent, which has flowed through Stoke and the Potteries, picking up on its way nuances of Staffordshire oatcake, soot, clay dust and various curry outfalls, all of which contribute to the peerless and unrepeated quality of beers such as Burton Bridge bitter. I should be delighted to prove my point by buying you a pint of said bitter, and a cheese cob, in the brewery should you be brave enough to venture into Burton after suggesting that their output might be inferior to that of anywhere else. (Offer restricted to dsl, I can’t leave it wide open to invading hordes of thirsty imcdb-ers, resources have to be managed.) My spelling of “whisky” has just been checked, and corrected, by reference to the bottle of Aldi “Highland Earl” in the kitchen, where it rests after having added a certain je ne sais quois to a mug of Yorkshire tea, builder’s recipe. At £14.99 per litre it is excellent for such infusions, and for removing rust from surgical instruments which have been used for trimming sprouts. BTW Marmite- gets my vote every time. As this database is devoted, mainly, to road transport, you may wish to look up the Burton manufactured Baguley car. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baguley_Cars_Ltd -- Last edit: 2019-12-14 17:47:08

Comments from Yorkists, Lancastrians, Lincolnshire Yellowbellies or Devonians (for instance) will be ignored. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burton_upon_Trent I notice you have left Cumbria off the list, I must assume this is deliberate and therefore you acknowledge that Jennings bitter is in fact the finest.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2019-12-14 20:33	the sad biker wrote you acknowledge that Jennings bitter is in fact the finest. No. It also occurs to me that you might be angling for a lift to Burton-upon-Trent with dsl, and a free pint of Burton Bridge Bitter, with the accompaniment of a cheese cob. I think that I can probably afford to double up! Further requests received from places like the USA, or Australia, neither of whose personnel understand about beer since they insist on drinking it so cold, are hereby politely declined. -- Last edit: 2019-12-14 21:22:58
