Still forlornly beating my 1944 recipe drum. Still plenty more to come. Unless I suddenly see sense. (Not much chance of that. When I get an idea in my head it takes some shaking out.)

On a Barclay Perkins price list from 1944, five Stouts appear:




Stout (draught)
8.5d per half pint


Stout
7.5d per half pint


Best Stout
9.5d per half pint


Victory Stout
9.5d per half pint


Russian Stout
18d per nip



Though I’m pretty sure that they only brewed three, with the brew house names BS, LS and IBS. Draught Stout, Best Stout and Victory Stout all look like the same beer to me. Especially if you consider that the difference in price between a draught and a bottled beer was 1d per half pint. By this point London Stout (LS) was being marketed as simply Stout.

After the war, Best Stout and Victory Stout were separate brews, with the former being the stronger of the two.

The grist is very similar to BS. No surprise there since, as you would expect, the two were often parti-gyled together. Though both beers were also brewed single-gyle. When parti-gyled, the quantity of LS was always much greater than that of BS.

The kettle hops were Mid-Kent Fuggles from the 1943 harvest and Kent Fuggles from 1941. Rather surprisingly, given the difference in strength and the fact that LS was a bottled beer, which often weren’t dry-hopped, this contains the same quantity of dry hops as BS.
