Whitbread Porter & Stout 1901 - 1912

Because Gary Gilman asked, here are the details of Whitbread's Edwardian Porters and Stouts. The ones I gave production figures for a couple of days ago.

That's it. A very short post.

In addition to the comments I just made to the original post, I would ask if country stout and porter are the same beer.

Also, overall the gravities seem down from the later 1800's. Where are the big Imperial and Russian stout levels at 9-12% ABV...?

What replaced them in the public affection.. whisky perhaps?

I've picked an example of SSS with poor attenuation. That was usually a good bit higher in ABV.

Gravities were down. No, people weren't drinking more spirits. They preferred weaker beer.; 14 December 2009 at 11:17

Ron would it be possible to have the values as a % of the grist?; 15 December 2009 at 00:29
