Here's a question for you: what's unusual about this price list?
|
Hants and Berks Gazette and Middlesex and Surrey Journal - Saturday 09 December 1905, page 1. |
I've never seen a price list like this from an English brewery. For this period, at least. Have you spotted what's weird? There's no Mild.
There's a reason I hunted out this price list on the British Newspaper Archive. I was taking my first run through Crowley's brewing records (thanks Perter Symons and Edd Mather who supplied them) and was wondering where the hell the Mild was.
I also wanted to make sure that all the B's really were types of Pale Ale. Because I was all confused, like.
This is what the beers looked like:

Not found the Old Ale yet, I'm afraid. Judging by the number of brews o it, AK was filling the role of Mild Ale. Though before anyone asks, AK is not a type of Mild. It's a Light Bitter.
