Barclay Perkins brewing record held at the London Metropolitan Archives, document number ACC/2305/1/642.
Nice that they brewed more than one type of Lager. Especially that one was dark.
Even the weakest, Draught, is slightly above average OG. Export looks like has a continental-like strength. While Dark has a very reasonable gravity in the high 1050ºs.
Hopping, as you might expect, was on the low side compared to Barclay Perkins Ales. Still heavier than most Scottish Pale Ales.
Pretty simple recipes for all three.

All Saaz, all from the most recent season. Can’t get simpler than that. Except that there were two types of them. One costing 237/- per hundredweight, the other 315/-.
