Champagne bitter

[wilfh]

I have been reading a reference about hull brewery from 1895 that mentioned that they made a champagne bitter??
Any ideas what this could be?
High strength bitter that has been riddled and disgorged? Pale malts maybe or do you think they would have used a champagne yeast?

Anyone seen anything like this elsewhere?

It was in bottles I know that.
Sound really interesting anyway

Possibly just marketing, maybe they made a lager but didn't want to market it as that etc. What was the reference?

Did they even make anything called a bitter then anyway?

5th sep 1842 The Times apparently has the 1st mention of "bitter beer".

pale ale, Champagne yeast, highly carbed and bottle conditioned, remouaged and champagne cork?

that would be how I would do it. Although gueuze is the nearest beer to champagne I can think of.
