One of the better Drinks industry Investments/trades.

Certainly got Momentum in its favour and we have a bottom triangle/wedge formation breakout.

First resistance level at around 500p.

apparently GK can replicate the local henley water exactly, and thus make it the same

I doubt that very much.

what i say is true - promise
i won't bore you with the story about brakspear's amusing as it was, but that was the empiric proof
as i said, go to the GK museum

The Brakspear Brewery was indeed a fine one with some fine Ales, unfortunately the price of the property was too much of a temptation to turn down in Henley so they sold out.

But as I say to boast that they can replicate the exact water from the Henley area cannot be true.

well you are categorically wrong, and i speak from knowledge

If I'm wrong then so is the whole of the brewing industry, you cannot produce the same brew quality from different water ask a Brewer of real ale and they will tell you.

groan!
re-read what i wrote and then please bet your house against me

by the way, it's Brakspear

Oh stop arguing and just except the truth.

you are such an arsehole stan

try doing some research into this particular at GK ..... or if you're so certain of your position without so doing, i challenge you to put a large slab of money on the table to match your mouth

Arsehole yourself you established Muppet.

money with mouth please

I don’t enter into agreements with Muppets so I won’t start now.

the following is really interesting so worth posting in full ......

a small correction that Brakspear was bought by Marston and not GK as i thought .....


Many thanks for your enquiry, this question was a common one a few years ago, but hasn’t cropped up for a while. Your timeline is pretty accurate, but for clarity, I’ll confirm the timeline of events first.

Brakspear made the decision to close the brewery around the early 00’s. They were and are rightly incredibly proud of their unique beers and wanted to ensure the quality of consistency of product continued.

In 2004 Brakspear made the decision to move brewing to Wychwood in Witney. Witney was actually the very first location of Brakspear Brewery when founded in 1779 before moving to Henley, so the fit was nice. As part of the move, lots of equipment mainly fermentation vessels, including the unique dropping vessels were moved to Witney. Trials began (with Brakspear yeast) and were overseen by the Head Brewer from Brakspear to ensure consistency and quality of beer. Although there was inevitably and period of time where some drinkers perceived a change, most didn’t and were extremely complimentary about the beer. The Brakspear Head Brewer himself claimed not to be able to notice a difference and is still very complimentary about Brakspear beers to this day.

Marston’s took over Wychwood Brewery in 2008, but they have made absolutely no change to Brakspear Beers. Brakspear beers are all still brewed in Witney, with Brakspear yeast, traditional recipes and with some of the original Brakspear equipment. We continue to brew Brakspear today as we have for the last 15 years and are very proud of the beers indeed.

In direct answer to your question “water, how did (or do) Marston "fake" Henley water so the beer tasted exactly the same”? Truth is, we needed to do very little. Like Henley, Witney is in the Thames Valley and water specifications are extremely comparable. Very small adjustments were made to Calcium Chloride and Calcium Sulphate to bring the water back in line. All breweries adjust their water balance using these additions usually to replicate water from a particular region or to adjust for a particular beer style.

Hope this answers your question.

"a small correction that Brakspear was bought by Marston and not GK as i thought ....."

A small mistake? you can't even get the Pub chain right yet alone anything else... your Muppet credentials laid bare.

you are so immature, it's almost pathetic

You know all about immaturity...you practically invented it.

From yesterday's mail.

Cheers! Pubs will add fizz to your portfolio: Glass is half full but beware the risk of a hangover

Went to a Beer Festival on Friday and of course there were no GK ales on amongst the 76.

Afraid like a lot of these drinks/food Company outfits they seem to have losted there way somewhat.
