Hold on tight. It’s going to be a long climb. Next on the strength ladder is 50/- (50 shilling). A little bit stronger than Table, but not much.

To me, it looks pricey for its strength 50/- a hogshead is 33.33 shillings per barrel. For that, you’d have got a beer of at least 1040º in England. Other than perhaps Harvest Beer, you really didn’t get anything under 1040º south of the border.

This was a parti-gyle with the Table above. No need for further comments on the recipe.

One handy feature of Younger’s brewing records is that they list which casks a beer was racked into. In this case hogsheads, half hogsheads and quarter hogsheads. Which tells me that it was destined to bottlers.

Interestingly, the Table in the same parti-gyle also went into barrels and half barrels. Implying that it was party for bottling and draught as well.
