WORTHINGTON WHITE SHIELD

Worthington white shield is a bottle-conditioned, pale ale with a delicate, yeasty, hoppy, malt flavour. It is now brewed at Mitchells and Butlers in Binningham. For years White Shield was the only widely available bottled pale ale which retained a sediment of yeast. This meant it was a living beer - a brewery in a bottle. It developed a complex character and required careful handling. Bar staff had to pour the ale steadily into the glass without disturbing the sediment - but some drinkers preferred their glass cloudy and added the yeast anyway. It was not just a beer but a ritual.
