Shut up about Barclay Perkins - The decline in Keeping Porter
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Back to the decline, sorry, disappearance of aged Porter. I've got my finger out and culled some relevant numbers from Whitbread's logs.
I must say that I was surprised at the rapidity with which vatted Porter went out of fashion. Take a look:
Whitbread Porter output 1845 - 1867
Keeping
Running
total
1845
1852
1867

Whitbread brewing records.
In 1871 Whitbread brewed no Keeping Porter at all.
I have photos of many more years of Whitbread's logs from this period. But irritatingly, I neglected to snap some of the pages I need to make these calculations for most years. Guess I'll have to wait until November when I'll be in London for the British Guild of Beer Writers annual dinner. I always make sure I have time for an archive visit or two.
