Noakes was a small South London brewery, located close to London Bridge station. Brewing ceased in 1920, with all beer being produced in the company’s other brewery in Windsor. When they were acquired by Courage in 1930, Noakes owned 120 tied houses.

The early effects of WW I are clear in the gravity, which is lower than the 1050º which was standard before 1914 for London Mild.

The grist is odd in a couple of ways. Specifically in the tiny amount of flaked maize. I really can’t see what the point was, unless they were just using up the stock they had. Later in the war maize would disappear entirely from UK beers as the war situation made its importation impossible.

There’s an awful lot of sugar in this beer, mostly in the form of No. 3 invert. They was a small amount of a proprietary sugar called CDM. I’ve just bumped up the No. 3 quantity to include that.

Once again, the colour comes principally from sugar: No. 3 invert and caramel. The amount of black malt is so small that it doesn’t influence the final shade much.
