London Stock Pale Ale hops 1880 - 1899

Not much to relate this time. I do have a lovely table, though.

As high-class beers, Pale Ales expected the best hops. At the time, that usually meant ones grown in England. Except for a couple of ones I can’t decipher, that’s what every single one is. Mostly pretty fresh, too, coming from the most recent two seasons. No American hops, which were common in cheaper styles, such as Mild Ale.
