Daniel Thwaites, the Lancashire-based brewer, has revealed that sales of one of its ales have rocketed after a name change.

The company said that sales of the former Dark Mild jumped 90% once it had been redeployed on the market as Nutty Black.

Such a surge has been witnessed, it remarked, despite the fact it contains that exactly the same recipe and has the identical strength (3.3%) that it did originally.

Brian Jenkins, sales director at the company, said that there was a threat the brand would become extinct thanks to poor sales but consumers have thankfully embraced the rethink.

"The new name has struck a chord with drinkers and sales have motored along since we made the change last May," he commented.
