IS IT BETTER?

Real ale in a bottle has a more complex flavour than processed beer, which can be dull and one-dimensional in comparison.  It tastes fresher too, without the need for extra carbon dioxide pumped into the bottle.

Not only is it a more natural product, many drinkers prefer the enhanced flavour that comes from the additional maturity.
