I never commented on bitters at 3.6%-4%, I did however on 3.3% which is too low. Personally I only brew bitters at 4% and above but for me Best Bitter should be 4%-5% not 3.8%-4.5%as classified by BJCP. I notice that the list of beers below 4% that none are called Ordinary Bitter, however many...

Yesterday I bottled my Dogfish Head 60 into 34 bottles. Now Carbonating for 2 weeks.

Orkney Brewery do 2 great beer Dark Island a Best Bitter and Skull Splitter at 8.5%. Skull Splitter was name after a Norse ruler of Orkney in the ninth century.

A pint of my Summer Lightning clone sat in the garden at temperature of 25C. I’ve had a busy day, cut the back lawn with a fly mow, tried to fix my petrol mower failed so ordered a new carburettor and bottled 34 bottles of Dogfish Head 60 at 6%.

There is no such thing as Ordinary Bitter, I should know I’ve been drinking Bitter for 56 years. Make a Best Bitter at around 4% as Lumpher says.

Totally agree.

My daughter took this in Glasgow at 1.00 am.

An ABV of 3.2% isn’t a bitter in my opinion it’s a mild. I would never go below 3.8% for an Ordinary Bitter but the term isn’t used in the UK. Who is going to buy something called Ordinary.
