The quality room of a brewery in London on a drizzly grey morning, soft daylight through a tall window streaked with rain, on a scrubbed wooden bench a large two-litre bottle of amber-brown translucent plastic filled with bitter beer, a black screw cap, a black base cup around its round bottom, around its middle a smooth band of cream paper with a plain red field, blank and unmarked, the window light glowing through the amber, beside it a hand holding up its preform, a small thick-walled closed amber tube with the finished screw neck at its top, behind them two plain glass beakers of beer and a white porcelain tasting cup.
