Not quite Beer & Rigden at this point, as they didn’t merge with George Beer until 1922. This beer was brewed in their Faversham brewery, wh...| barclayperkins.blogspot.com
Sometimes people ask me how many brewing records I have. Well, being honest, I usually offer the information unprompted. And my answer is: 1...| barclayperkins.blogspot.com
I rise at 7:30. After a very good sleep. But still feel a bit knacked. Hopefully breakfast will liven me up. Plenty of coffee should do the ...| barclayperkins.blogspot.com
Time now for the other main ingredient: hops. | Shut up about Barclay Perkins
Bit of a funny one today. I have just a single brewing record from Peter Walker. Which someone sent me. Sometime. A few years back. As it's an Imperial Stout, it seemed a shame to waste it.Brewing Imperial Stout wasn’t just limited to brewers in London. As this example from Peter Walker of Warrington demonstrates.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
To be honest, it’s not very interesting. The majority of the beers only have a single ingredient in the grist. Pretty dull, right? Just a one type of pale malt.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
When I'm in archives, I don't spend a huge amount of time analysing documents. There's plenty of time for that later. I just snap away, making sure I take as many photos as possible.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
The range of beers brewed by Tomson & Wotton is a little odd. At a time when Porter was disappearing from most of England, they continued to brew one. Yet didn't brew a Stout of any description. A style pretty well every other brewery in the UK produced.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
Some results from my expedition to Maidstone last week. From the one brewing book they hane from Tomson & Wotton.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins

Here are the first results of my jaunt to Maidstone during the week. The Kent Archives have one Tomson and Wotton brewing book. A personal notebook rather than the official brewing record. Pretty complete information, though.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
I get up at eight. Want to be in plenty of time for the bus, which is at 9:30 AM.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
The Brewers' Journal reprinted quite a lot of technical information from foreign publications. Particularly German ones. Lots of interesting stuff. Such as today's article which looks at fermentation procedures in Munich breweries.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
Strongest of Binnie’s beers was 140/-. Which, although it’s a good bit weaker than William Younger 140/-, I suppose still counts as a Strong/Scotch Ale.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
In case you missed it on Boak & Bailey's blog, here's a wonderful film from 1974 showing how they worked at Hook Norton.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
I rise at 8:40 and go straight for breakfast.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
Not everyone in Birmingham was happy with the abolition of the long pull. As it seems that, in some cases, overmeasure had been attracting customers. Who disappeared again once the long pull ended.The Long Pull and Co-operative Brewing.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
I rise at 8:30 and go straight for brekkie. | Shut up about Barclay Perkins
After the tax category was abolished in 1830, Table Beer quickly banished from most of the UK. Except in Scotland, where it lived on until WW I.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
No rush this morning. My flight isn't until 14:20. I leave home around 11:00.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
No rush this morning. So, I don’t get up until 8:40. Simply because I didn’t want to get to breakfast too late.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
Just to confuse things a bit more, here’s a beer simply called Export. And, no, it wasn’t the same gravity as PA. As, by this time, its gravity had been dropped to 1050º.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
I rise at 8:15. And go downstairs for brekkie. | Shut up about Barclay Perkins
Yet more stuff from the Brewers' Journal. This time about a topic dear to my heart: underlet mashing.| Shut up about Barclay Perkins
