More numbers today. Why? Because I have them lying around and may as well do something with them.
It's a random set of Worthington bottled beers. Mostly, they're typical beers from the period, things like Brown Ale and Light Ale. Though the gravities of those two in the 1940s and 1950s is quite high for the styles. Most were barely opver 1030ยบ.
Less typical are a cou0ple of the Stouts. It specifically mentions in the Whitbread Gravity Book that the Export Stout was naturally conditioned. Which definitely wasn't standard practice.I suspect that the Imperial Stout was also bottle-conditioned as it was sold under the White Shield brand.
It's surprising how much the OG of E varied in the 1960s. I wonder why that was? Probably it was being brewed at different breweries. It was one of Bass Charrington's main brands, after all. There's also quite a variation in colour, from 19 to 27. That's enough to notice.
