Ale ›
Strong English ale kept long enough to change character, traditionally blended back into younger beer.
The median is 10.0% ABV. Half of them fall between 8.5% and 12.0%. Measured on 317 of the 353; the rest carry no strength.
Most in one town: Bodegraven (35), Middelburg (35), Alkmaar (13).
Oldest with a sourced year: Traquair House Ale, 1965.
These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is as deep as its sources, which cover modern craft brewing far more closely than anything else. A country at the top of this list is where the most examples have been recorded, which is not the same as where the most are brewed.
