Table fun

Table fun for table fans. I was shocked to discover you do exist. You share my sickness. This is for you.

And as an excuse to write about Lager.

These are the Lagers Barclay Perkins brewed in the first year their Lager brewery operated. I made that sound as dull as a party conference. I'm having a Clement Freud sort of day. That's what happens when you write German for 8 hours.

Here are Barclay Perkins Lagers.

Blah.

Blah.

Blah.

Blah.

    Look at Export Lager, rock solid at 1050 apart from gyle 22. I pity the poor sods who got that one. While everyone else was having a great time on Barclays Export they were drinking Harp.

    Will we get to see what the recipe diffences were that gave us 3 lagers from BP?

    An there was a taste for dark lager not just the classic pils interesting

    Oblivious, Export had an FG of 1012, Draught 1013 and Dark 1023.

    Fascinating that they had both a dark lager and a Munich. How much lager knowledge British brewers once had, and lost almost all of it!

    Barm, a Danish gentleman called Henius was their head Lager brewer.

    "Oblivious, Export had an FG of 1012, Draught 1013 and Dark 1023."

    Ah a good bit less attenuated that to days i would presume?

    I wonder if that Henius was any relation to Max Henius, PhD, the Chicago brewing consultant of 100 years ago, of the Wahl-Henius Institute, a brewing school and laboratory, and co-author of the American Handy Book of the Brewing, Malting and Auxiliary trades.
