Another technical, Meux-related post. This time of Friary Holroyd and Friary Meux. And for Joe Tindall of the Fateful Glass of Beer blog (http://thefatalglassofbeer.blogspot.com/2021/02/do-you-remember-drinking-friary-meux.html). This set runs almost up to the closure of the Guildford brewery (originally Friary Holroyd) in 1969. Including exciting stuff like Keg Mild. But also genuinely unusual things, such as Audit Ale.
I'm done with this now and it'll be back to WW II and Boddington Bitter for the rest of the week. Apologies for the interruption to normal service.
