Let's Brew Wednesday - 1964 Eldridge Pope Dorset Brown Ale

You should let me know if there's any particular period of recipes you'd like. Especially if you want me to stop posting watery post-WW II recipes.

Essentially identical of the Mild was Eldridge pope’s Brown Ale. It was often parti-gyled with it, though this particular example also had XXXX in the mix, too.

This is another beer that was darker than the recipe implies. I’ve added enough caramel to get the colour right.

The hopping is very similar in all Eldridge Pope’s beers. In this case, it’s Kent (1961), Worcester (1962) and Sussex (1962). Some of the others also contain a small amount of Styrian Goldings.
