Obviously there's a lot of overlap at the edges, but the centres of gravity can be quite different. I see USians making "bitter" with 10% crystal and Windsor attenuating at 65% and it feels very different to what I was weaned on - Boddies and Stones.<br /><br />From a personal POV I'd be interested in whether the data supports the idea that northwest mild is a distinctly different "thing" - sweeter, more crystal - to Black Country mild. That's the impression I get as a drinker, but I don't know whether it's just that I haven't drunk enough of a relatively rare style.<br /><br />So I guess I'm asking for more northern post-WWII horizontals rather than verticals?qqnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-62772789283490548102021-09-15T02:26:30.389-07:002021-09-15T02:26:30.389-07:00"Styrian Goldings" (actually Fuggle'..."Styrian Goldings" (actually Fuggle's, of course) were first planted in 1886. They were being imported to the US by 1915, but don't appear to have reached Britain until the 1930s., and they were mostly used for lager brewing.Martyn Cornellhttp://zythophile.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-88465347986946942052021-09-10T06:48:04.956-07:002021-09-10T06:48:04.956-07:00Great information, thanks Ron.

I really enjoyed this slice of history, and would love a vertical slice of London Porter throughout the 19th century if this will be a recurring theme. <br /><br />I've recently fallen in love with porters heavy on the brown malt, so would definitely like more nice, crunchy history numbers.
