There are thousands of good bottled beers. Some are versions of draught beers put into a bottle, but some are specifically brewed to be packaged, stored, and served from a bottle. Some beers are very strong, contain yeast, and are allowed to mature for many years. There's a beer called Thomas Hardy's Ale from O'Hanlon's Brewery in Devon, which is 11.7% and is a beer that if allowed to mature for years in a bottle, will change its flavors as the various yeast, malt, hop characteristics change in character as the beer gets older.
