British Stouts 1959

I recall mentioning a load of Stout entries in the Whitbread Gravity Book, all dated 3rd September 1959. Well, here they finally are. All 77 of them. They come from all over the country an provide a useful snapshot of Stout in the late 1950's.

Included are many breweries from the East Midlands, where I grew upp. Shipstone, Kinberley, Hole, Warwick's, Hewitt. The entries are arranged in descending order of OG, as they were in the Whitbread Gravity Book.


Take a look and you'll see what a diverse bunch they are, with attenuation ranging from the low 40's to the high 80's.
