Having a small brew house in addition to their main plant gave Barclay Perkins a greater degree of flexibility than most of their London rivals. It enabled them to produce a very wide range of beers, often in very modest quantities. And, unlike with parti-gyling, each of these beers could have its own unique grist.
SDP was such a beer. What does it stand for? I’ve no real idea. The P is probably Porter. I was thinking that the S might be Stout. Until I remembered that there’s also and RDP. It’s more likely that the S is Stock and the R Running. Some sort of Porter, then. Given the small quantities brewed, probably one intended for export.
Like their other Black Beers, there are a lot of different malts, five in total. Plus an awful lot of No. 3 invert. But no adjuncts. They had started using rice by this point, except it was only present in their Ales. The proportion of roasted malts is lower than in their other Black Beers, resulting in a slightly paler hue.
The hops were rather simpler, being all East Kent, split 50-50 between the 1890 and 1891 harvests.
