Bass and Whitbread: Bitters?

[DuncB]

I think there's a vogue for renaming Bitter to Amber ale.

Spitfire is now an Amber ale, I always thought of it as a bitter until recently.

One of the best advertising campaigns for a beer though.

Years ago they were called English Pale Ale and there was a BJCP category called English Pale Ale. Somewhere along the way BJCP lumped everything into bitter and strong bitter.

*slaps hands on the bar

“Hey there mr. Bartender - lemme have one of those strong bitter thingies”
