Let's Brew - 1879 William Younger No. 1

Someone commented the other day that they were disappointed Scotland! contained no recipes. He has a point. One which I’ve been addressing.

You may have noticed the odd Scottish recipe appearing in amongst those for Mild or from the 1950’s. That’s because I’ve been working on three books simultaneously: the new edition of Mild!,  Victory! and Scotland! vol. II.

So far I’ve written 60 new Scottish recipes. Nothing nearly like enough. I’m aiming for at least 200. I hope that they’ll open people’s eyes to the real nature of Scottish beer. No long boils, normal fermentation temperatures and roast barley nowhere to be seen. And plenty of hops.

Younger’s No. 1 is a good example. With its three imperial shitloads of hops and ridiculously low degree of attenuation, it’s typical of strong Scottish beers of the 19th century. William Younger brewed a crazy number of crazily high-gravity beers. They had two parallel ranges of Strong Ales, one with shilling designations, the other numbered. The numbered range seem to have been inspired by the Strong Ales of Burton-on-Trent.

These are the two sets:

I love the simplicity of Younger’s recipes from this period: pale malt and loads of hops. The majority from the US, but some Kent hops, too. Not much more I can say, really.

I imagine the biggest challenge for you will be getting an FG that high. Though in the case of the numbered beers, the FG in the log may not be the real FG. In the case of the Shilling Ales, which were shipped in hogsheads for immediate bottling and rapid consumption, the FG probably is about right. While the numbered Ales might have been aged before sale. I simply don’t know.

The first beer festival - the participants

I didn't realise that Boak & Bailey had already written about this event. It was a few years back, so I've a good excuse for forgetting. I can't remember everything I wrote last month, let alone what someone else wrote a few years ago.

They'd found other references to the event. Including one that gave a full list of the participating breweries. It's an odd list. Of the 30 breweries, only two still exist: Donnington and Dreher (now called Schwechat). And there's an oddity straight off. I can't think of many lists that would include the largest brewery in Continental Europe and a tiny rural brewery in the West Country.

You know how much time I spend with my head stuffed up the past's arse. But I only recognised six names in the list. Meaning most couldn't have made it into the 20th century. It also  implies that they weren't very big. Dreher aside, none of the participants was particularly well-known.

There are none of the big names in British brewing: Bass, Allsopp, Whitbread, Truman, Barclay Perkins, William Younger, Charrington, Mann, Watney, Beamish & Crawford, Guinness and Tetley.

The geographical spread is very uneven, too. No breweries from Scotland, nor from anywhere in North other than Lancashire. Unsurprisingly given the event's location, a majority are from the South - 17 of 30. Though none are from London.

Charles Wells beers in 1952

I’ve been on a price list binge recently. I blame the newspaper archive. And the fact that that adverts are about the only place Mild Ale ever gets mentioned.

Today’s is from a brewery that’s still very much around: Charles Wells. This is the price list in question:

Bedfordshire Times and Independent - Friday 13 June 1952, page 8.

You might well ask what the point of publishing this is. It’s quite simple: to show how slimmed down breweries’ product ranges became as a result of WW II. London brewers dropped many of their less popular beers in the early years of the war. That’s what finally did for Porter.

The advert shows about the minimum range a pub could get away with. Draught Mild and Bitter; bottled Pale Ale, Brown Ale, Stout, Strong Ale and Guinness. Not even Bass or Worthington, which were available in lots of pubs, just like Guinness.

I suppose you’d like to know more about these beers. So would I. Wonder if they have any brewing records preserved? Be interesting to take a look at them. Failing that, I do have a few analyses of their beers.

You can see that their IPA didn’t change a great deal between 1950 and 1979, nor their Mild between 1950 and 1968. Though by 1979 their Mild no longer existed in cask form.

For comparison purposes, here’s Guinness from the same period:

Let's Brew Wednesday - 1937 Greene King IPA

While I’m looking at Greene King I may as well do their IPA, too.

I’d love to know more about the history of this beer. If only to have more arguments against those who accuse of not being an “authentic” IPA because it doesn’t fit their preconceptions. What I do know, is that it filled the Best Bitter spot in their pre-war line-up. We can blame the war for knocking the gravity down to its current level.

If I were Greene King, I’d be annoyed with the developments which have left their flagship beer under attack by geeks who, let’s face it, mostly know eff all about the real history of IPA. Or any other beer history, for that matter.

You may have noticed that I’m waffling a bit. I need to fill out this post, but there’s little to add to what I said about AK. The two were parti-gyled together, meaning this is just slightly stronger version of AK. Though there was one difference: caramel was added to AK to make it slightly darker.

The first Dark Mild

I’ve been wondering a lot about Dark Mild recently. About when beer of this type appeared, but also when the term itself was first used.

The earliest reference I can find of the phrase “Dark Mild” is surprisingly recent and in an oddly relevant place. The date is 1924 and the place an advertisement for Greene King’s beers. It’s used to describe their XX Mild. A beer I published a recipe for recently.

This is the advert:

Bury Free Press - Saturday 20 December 1924, page 9.

They brewed an interesting range of draught beers, which included both a Burton Ale and a Strong Ale. Sadly, I’ve only one analysis of Greene King beers from before the war. Coincidentally, it’s for XX. Knowing that it had a gravity of 1029º has allowed me to estimate the OG of their other beers. Which I cross-checked with a Whitbread price list where I do know the gravities.

This is what I came up with:

Greene King draught beers in 1924
beer	price per barrel	estimated OG
XX Dark Mild Beer	76	1029
AK Light Bitter Ale	88	1034
IA Best Bitter Ale	114	1044
S Stout	114	1044
BA Burton Ale	130	1050
XXX Strong Ale	154	1059
Source:
Greene King price list in Bury Free Press - Saturday 20 December 1924, page 9.

Pay particular attention to IA, which must the beer now known as IPA. I’m interested to see that it’s Best Bitter strength and that their Ordinary Bitter was called AK. Another one for my collection of AKs.

I was shocked at how few hits I found in the newspaper archive for the phrase “Dark Mild” before WW II. It was just a handful, mostly in adverts for Newcastle Mild Ale. It can’t have been term that was much used.

Eldridge Pope AK

It seems ages since I last mentioned AK. Not sure why. Been busy with other stuff, I suppose.

This is another piece inspired by a newspaper advertisement. One I found when looking searching for “Mild Ale”. It happens quite often that the most interesting material I come across is when I was searching for something completely different.

Why do I find it so interesting? Because is appears to confirm my main theory of the meaning of AK. Let’s take a look at the advertisement in question:

Hampshire Chronicle - Saturday 25 January 1890, page 2.

There are three Pale Ales, listed in descending order of price and strength. It’s the last two that tell the story.

You sometimes see X’s used for Mild Ales and K’s for Pale Ales. At this time a single X or K beer would have a gravity of about 1055º. Stronger versions would have be denoted by XX, KK, etc. (Though in this case XX is the base level Mild.) Pale Ales commanded a premium, which is why the K is 42/- a barrel (14d a gallon) and XX 36/- (12d a gallon).

AK was a new class of beer in the second half of the 19th century. A light, running Pale Ale, with an unusually low gravity for the period, in the range 1045-1050º. It sold for 36/- a barrel. Here AK is clearly signifying a beer that is weaker than K. A standing for one strength class down from K or X.

I’m gradually becoming more and more convinced of my theory. A indicates a gravity below X, K indicates that it’s a Pale Ale. Pretty simple, really.

Now what I’d love to know is who first used the name and when. It seems to have been commoner in the south (though there are examples from Yorkshire) so my money would be on its origins being there. I must do some newspaper archive searches to see the earliest reference I can find.

One last point: why are there three different versions of XXX? I can get the difference between Mild and Old Ale, but what differentiates something as Burton Ale? It’s the same price as Mild or Old so can’t simply be a different strength.

Random Dutch beers (part thirty-two)

Time for some more writing about blogging. I know it fascinates everyone.

It's Saturday and I've been tidying up some loose ends. I've been very busy writing posts the last few days. I'm away most of next week, first for work and then for beer. It's a bit crazy. I fly back from Gatwick on Wednesday and then back to Manchester on Friday.

I've got two gigs in the UK. Saturday 11th June I'm talking at the Home Brew Festival in Market Bosworth. Monday 13th June I'll be chatting informally about four historical beer recreations at the Smithfield Market Tavern.

One of this morning's loose ends was the final post about my last US trip. The one that ended a couple of months ago. Just never quite got around to it.

Speaking of loose ends, here are a couple. Months ago on a daytrip to Nijmegen I picked up some bottles of local beer. I've tried some, but these ones got pushed to the back of my beer pile and forgotten.

Boer Koekoek Boren Rood, 6% ABV (€3.20 for 33cl.)
It's more a coppery orange than red. A bit metallic. A slightly strange aniseed note at the back. OK I suppose. Not quite sure what it's supposed to be.

I can't offer it to Andrew. He's in Utrecht doin a univeristy admission test. Dolores will have to do.

"Do you want to try my beer, Dolores?"

"If it isn't a horrible on."

Sips. "Mmmm. It's OK. But there's a slightly funny taste at the end. It makes you wonder why it's there."

Boer Koekoek Zwart Boer, 6% ABV (€3.20 for 33cl.)
This one really is black. Black to the point of being opaque, unless you hold it in front of a bright light. Clearly the blackness comes from a dark grain. The aroma is of roasted coffee.In the mouth it's slightly sweet and a bit thin. A touch of liquorice and again something out of place at the end. OK, but not something I'd buy again.

Let's Brew 1937 Greene King AK

I’m always delighted to add a new AK to my collection. And this is no exception.

It’s thanks to Ed Wray, who took a few snaps of Greene King’s brewing records, again. This is derived from a photograph he sent me rather than me just nicking it from his blog.

The OG of this beer is very revealing. Revealing about the reason so many AKs disappeared. With a gravity already in the low 1030’s, the drop in beer strength as a result of WW II left beers like this unviably weak. Just like 4d Ale.

The grist doesn’t have anything very unusual about. There is Fiona, a type of diastatic malt extract that was added in the mash tun. It’s not even that odd, plenty of beers of this period contained malt extract. It’s just the type, Fiona rather than DME, that is slightly out of the ordinary.

It’s clear that the war must have knocked Greene King’s Best Bitter, IPA, down into Ordinary Bitter country. Which is presumably when and why AK was discontinued.

I’d love to see more of Greene King’s brewing records. They’re easy to read and contain all the most important information.

Random Dutch beers (part thirty-one)

Saturday is becoming my most productive day. I knocked off a BeerAdvocate column this morning, a Let's Brew Wednesday recipe in the early afternoon. Time to relax with a beer or two.

Brouwerij 't Ij Summer Wheat Ale 5.6%, (€2.40 for 30cl.) 
Amother cloudy one. Though it is a wheat beer. It smells very summery with its lemon and wheat thing. Really quite lovely. Think I'll just sit here and sniff it for a while. A similar citrus thing in the gob, but also a surprising amount of bitterness. I quite like it. Not quite in the same class as Schneider's Hopfenweisse, but pleasant enough.

"Do you want to try my beer, Andrew?"

"No thank you, dad."

Ungrateful bastard. He's already scored 10 euros off me today. No need for him to be nice now.

Next is the beer recently voted Holland's best. According to RateBeer, it's brewed at Bierbrouwerij Praght.

Bruut Gajes 8% ABV (€2.45 for 33cl.)
Reasonably clear. A bit of citrus in the aroma. But it's all spices in the mouth with bitterness nailed on at the end, like a wooden tail on a bronze equestrian statue.

"Do you want to try my beer, Dolores? It's the one that's supposed to be the best in Holland."

"It's OK. Not exactly my taste, but I'd drink it."

It's supposedly a dry-hopped Tripel. It does seem to have the malty yeast thing of a Tripel. And lots of late bitterness.

The first beer festival

I'm always stumbling across unexpected stuff in the newspaper archive. Like this one about what sound like an early beer festival.

See what you think:

"BEER SHOW AT WOOLWICH.
The manager of the North Woolwich Gardens is above all things entitled to credit for untiring energy and inexhaustible invention. Season after season he has startled the public with announcements of shows of which probably the great Barnum never dreamt in his showman philosophy. Monkeys, barmaids, babies, this year give way to beer — an exhibition interesting as it is original. Yesterday the show was opened in the beautiful grounds that border the banks of the Thames, for too short a distance, with trees arrayed in their early summer robes waving above the carpet of green grass which is spread so as almost to meet high-water mark.

Close to the entrance, beneath a canvas tent, are arranged parallel lines of stands supporting barrels of beer of every brew known in our time. There are contributions not only from 35 well-known brewers throughout England, bnt also exhibitions of dranght and bottle excellence from various parts of the Continent, including India pale ale from Bremen, Bavarian beer from Erlangen, and lager beer from Vienna. The visitors to the gardens, on payment of a certain fee, are furnished with a tasting order, which entitles them to make a tour of the tent, and taste any or all of the beers offered for competition, after doing which they are rather unreasonably expected to register their votes in favour of that which they consider the best. The innocence of expecting a person, after passing such an ordeal, to be able to form any judgment, is simply sublime. But there the beers are, pale, dark, mild, bitter — in all the innumerable varieties of colour and taste to tempt the palate and the eye. The prizes, when awarded, are to consist of gold, silver, and bronze medals, the gold medal for the first prize being valued at 10l., and the other medals graduating in value, according to the quality of the article for which it is awarded, being struck from a model invented by Mr. Holland. The prizes will be awarded on Saturday next which will be the last day of this exhibition. Of course Mr. William Holland, who is advertised as "the People's Caterer," and who, if his popularity Increases at the present pace, bids fair to inherit the title of "the People's William," presides over the Bacchanalian banquet, beaming welcome in his beard of Napoleonic cut. He is evidently proud of this last idea of his which is unlike anything hitherto known, if it bears no resemblance to a wine-tasting order for the Docks. And surely since beer was first brewed, it never has been put to such a teet as that which it will have to undergo in &oith Woolwich Gardens this week.

Nor even whilst this engrossing care was upon him did Mr. Holland neglect to provide other fresh inducements to visitors. The grounds We been retrimmed redecorated with the greatest care and so aesthetic is the tone of the lessee's mind that he has reproduced in a prominent position that celebrated work of art which so lately disappeared from Leicester-square - the famous horse rampant, as he appeared in his last moments - wooden tail and wooden hind leg broken off short, flanks freshly papered and newly whiteiwashed all over; so that if Londoners desire to refresh their memories as to the glory of Leicester-square in its days of decadence, they have only to visit North Woolwich Gardens during the present season." 
London Evening Standard - Tuesday 20 May 1873, page 6.

A tent in a park with rows of barrels inside? It sounds like Peterborough Beer Festival. Beers from 35 breweries in one place must have been a real novelty. Especially as there were foreign beers, too. Drinkers having to pick a favourite sounds like some modern festivals. It really does sound like the first beer festival.

And before anyone mentions Oktoberfest, that was - and still is - a very different kind of festival. One where the beer itself isn't really the focus. The various big exhibitions like in Paris and London don't count, either, because beer was only a small part of the event.

The North Woolwich Gardens are now known as the Royal Victoria Gardens and are located close to London City Airport.

Let’s Brew Wednesday - 1919 Tetley F

A final Mild recipe for Mild Month. OK, it’s one day into June, but I couldn’t resist.

Especially as it’s another Tetley recipe. F, which I’m pretty sure stands for Family Ale. A bottled beer I remember from my time living in Leeds. In those days it looked very much like a bottled version of their Mild.

This one is an, er, interesting recipe. With grits making up 25% of the fermentables. Plus a tiny little bit of chocolate malt. And South American sugar. “Peru” is how it’s described. That’s another 18% of the grist. Making it pretty low on malt. Sure it tastes lovely, mind. It is a Tetley beer, after all.

When this was brewed, 30th October 1919, it would have counted as a 5d beer:

F was parti-gyled with X at 1027.1 and X1 at 1041.3, meaning they were 4d and 6d beers, respectively.

Tetley continued to brew F up to 1940. It always had a gravity of around 1034.
