Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Boring numbers
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Among my more weird hobbies is collecting old brewery price lists. And being an obsessive, I slot them into tables. I'm, over 5,000, if you're wondering.
After beerfoodtravel posted a price list from an Irish brewery, I couldn't help but harvest it. Then I thought: I can get an easy blog post out of this. As I was sure I had English price lists from the same year, 1884. And sure enough, I did.
I can't be arsed to provide an erudite commentary. Look for yourselves.
I will remark, however, that Keily's IPA was priced at the same level as English ones.
