Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew - 1942 Shepherd Neame LDA
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
As was so often the case, this LDA was parti-gyled with the BB we’ve just seen.
I’m certain about what this beer was sold as – Light Dinner Ale – but that doesn’t remove all the question marks about it. True, the name implies that it was a Light Ale, that is a light, bottled Pale Ale. But it’s unwise to make too many assumptions.
Between the wars Whitbread brewed a beer called LA – Light Ale. But light wasn’t being used to refer to the colour, but to the strength. In reality, it was a low-gravity Dark Mild. It’s just as well to be aware that light was used with different meanings in beer descriptions.
Shepherd Neame brewed several beers at 1027º - effectively the minimum gravity a beer could be brewed at – during the war years. The high degree of attenuation makes this almost intoxicating. Though with the minimal level of hopping it must have been a pretty watery and insipid drink.
