Boddington's
Boddington's used to be brewed at Strangeway's brewery, which has closed. The brand is owned by InBev who have contracted with Hyde's to have their cask beer brewed at Moss Side. (The keg version is brewed by InBev at Salmesbury, near Preston, and Magor, in South Wales.)
This recipe is the the winning recipe to duplicate the cask Boddington's in it heyday when brewed at the Strangeway's Brewery.

Brewed to be a match for the Boddington's Cask bitter at it's peak.
Orfy, you are killing me. Had a Directors Bitter with dinner last night. So smooth and easy to drink. After reading your recipe I want another. Might have to go to the pub for lunch. So many beers...so little time.
50 - Hobgoblin and other stuff that in my opinion is perfect for my taste.
40 - One mighty fine brew and is on my brew again list
30 - fine nothing wrong but maybe not enough body or taste or not quite my thing .
20 - not sure won't drink if there is anything else. (Sort of BMC level)
10 - pooh, don't like. Probably won't finish the pint.
00 - Liquid pooh and smells like it.
This is really good. It's a go.
This is now on my must brew again list.
It's Light in colour but not taste. Plenty of body , It's got good head retention and gives "History" and 4% ABV I can have more than 1 or 2 at a time.
In short. I recommend it.
