Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Ind Coope beers in the 1950's
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Here, as promised, are the Ind Coope beers I'd missed. I'd forgotten that I'd never quite made it all the way through the Whitbread Gravity Book. And that's after already transcribing several thousand entries. It really is an amazing document.
Here's a pretty little table with all the details:

As you can see, bottled Double Diamond was around 1048 (good guess, Zythophile).
I was pleased to find Coronet, another beer nmentioned by Campbell. It has a fairly puny OG of just 1035.6. Arctic Ale was another I'd hoped to discover. I wasn't disappointed. There are several entries for it. The OG was a very respectable 1080 or so and, because it was quite highly attenuated fro a strong beer, it had a very respectable ABV of about 7.5%.
Right at the end you'll see the legendary Benskins Colne Spring Ale, which is also mentioned by Campbell. It has an apparent degree of attenuation of nearly 90%. Very impressive for such a big beer, leaving it over 10% ABV.
My apologies for missing these beers first time through.
