By 1964, Truman had owned their Burton brewery for around a century, though it had never operated at full capacity.
At this point, three Bitters were produced in Burton: P1, P1 B and P2. The latter being their Ordinary Bitter. I’m not quite sure what it was called down the pub. Possibly Titan or Special. At least they’re the names of Truman Bitters of around the right period that I have analyses for.
The grist is a reasonable enough mix of pale malt, crystal malt, flaked maize and No. 1 invert sugar. Only one substitution this time: more No. 1 for some sort of proprietary sugar whose name I can’t read. That’s typical. The brewers at Truman’s Burton brewery mostly had terrible handwriting.
The hops were English, some grown by Truman itself. Other than that, I know nothing. I’ve gone for the safe bet of Fuggles and Goldings.
