Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Let's Brew Wednesday - 1958 William Younger Double Ce
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
I know. It's Friday, not Wednesday. My recent trip to Japan has left me all confused.
Double Century Ale was introduced in 1949 to commemorate 200 years of William Younger. Except, as Martyn Cornell has pointed out, the date is a few decades too early. The 1749 date for the founding of the brewery is wildly optimistic.
I’m not sure what style it’s meant to be. Strong Brown Ale? Old Ale? Scotch Ale? Who really cares?
One odd feature of Double Century is that, despite containing lactose, it has a higher degree of attenuation than most William Younger beers. A bit weird, that. Though they did like lactose, using it in several different styles, not just Milk Stout like most breweries. They were a bit modern in that way.
The grist isn’t complicated, just pale malt, flaked maize and sugar. Once again, the percentage of adjunct is very high.
