Not much in the way of details in the brewing records. Mostly just the name of the grower. The one exception being the Premium Lager, which used imported Styrian hops.
Most beers included two or three types of hops. Apart from Premium Lager and Porter, which only had one. Not sure why Porter was the only top-fermented beer with a single type of hops.
What else can I say about the hops? Nothing sensible, so I’ll keep quiet.
