Whitelakes Brewing Standard – RETIRED

When considering the shape a Whitelakes mid-strength beer might take, Sean Symons needed only to look across the carpark for inspiration: a light English style to suit the Vernon Arms' charms.

The ordinary bitter style name downplays what's a very enjoyable mid-strength beer, flush with copper malt notes and a slight backend creaminess.

The name Standard not only riffs on the ordinary of the style but also on the one standard drink per middy you hold in your hand.
