Thread Name: Folklore: What is 'new' ale?
Subject: RE: Folklore: What is 'new' ale?
It's context-dependent:

And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved.

No man also having drunk old wine straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is better.
    -- Luke 5:37--39
