Here’s another brewery I remember and whose beers I drank. Kirkstall is part of Leeds and the like-named brewery was still operating when I lived in the city.
The brewery was bought by Dutton’s in 1936. They fell into Whitbread’s hands in 1953, when they in turn purchased Dutton’s. It finally closed in 1983.
I didn’t initially drink their beers as they produced no cask. They did bring it back in their later years and very pleasant it was, too.
A new Kirkstall brewery was established a few years back. They own one of my favourite pub, The Cardigan Arms.
KKK has a quite interesting grist, with a reasonably high percentage of brown malt. I’ve seen brown malt in other K Ales in this period. For example, from Whitbread.
It’s a good bit weaker than a London KKK. Whitbread’s had an OG almost 20º higher.
All English hops from the 1883 and 1884 harvests. No indication of variety. The dry hops are a guess, as they weren’t recorded. While I’m at it, the FG is a guess, too.
