One of the initial set of Lagers brewed by Barclay Perkins was Export, a pale and reasonably strong beer.
The original version had an OG of 1050º, not that much higher than 30 years later. Export had fared better in the war than most beers. I suppose that’s because it was a fancy pants Lager that drinkers expected to pay a premium price for.
Initially, all Barclay’s Lagers were only available in bottles. But by WW II some, including Export, were available on draught, packaged in 11 and 5.5 gallon casks. They were obviously continental casks as that’s 50 and 25 litres in metric.
The recipe is incredibly simple: just pilsener malt and grits. Along with Saaz and East Kent Goldings as hops.
There was also a cereal mash for the grits in addition to the main mash.
