I hope you’re enjoying gambolling through pasture of 1940’s brewing. Doesn’t it make you glad to be alive? In a different decade, obviously. The 1940’s sound pretty grim. Especially the post-war years.
You’ll be pleased to hear that we’re leaving watery beers aside for a . . . slightly less watery beer. One with all the punch of an Ordinary Bitter. Let’s face, this is pretty much the same beer as BB. Just a little bit stronger. It’s a weird world, the late 1940’s. Where a brewery might have four or five beers under 1033º.
I’m going to struggle to draw this out over 100 words. Er, pretty boring grist: pale malt, the obligatory flaked barley and a touch of malt extract. Again, around half of the hops look as if they’ve come from Shepherd Neame’s own hop garden.
Just a slightly stronger version of the BB. That’s it really. Just about done with Shep’s 1947 beer range. Just one to go: LDA. Guess what that is. Go on. Not got it? A waterier version of BA. Hard to believe that a beer of 1034º could be a brewery’s strongest. But it’s true. BA was the strongest beer Shep’s brewed in 1947. Happy days? I don’t think so.
