Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Devenish OHB
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
I still haven't quite finished going through the Whitbread Gravity Book. There's so much of it. Literally hundreds of pages. Yesterday, I reluctantly pulled on my swimming trunks and dived in. Like one of those lunatics breaking the ice on New Years Day.
I'm on 1920's beers, mostly bottled, from what they call "Sundry Brewers". Basically the ones not important enough to get a whole page to themselves.There's often a regional theme going on. One page will have several brewers from Brighton, then some from the Isle of Wight. (It's amazing how many breweries there were in Brighton. My favourite is Kidd and Hotblack)
There are problems other than just struggling to read the handwriting. My table includes a column for style. Flagon Ale, Shire Ale, Imperial Ale, Pioneer - four new beer style? I can only guess.
This one in particular has me stumped: Devenish OHB. Notable for having the lowest FG, 1000.9ยบ. A puny OG. Must have been yummy. Anyone know what type of beer it was?
Here are some of the highlights so far. My favourite name is Smithers and Son, of Brighton. The Rock Brewery from the same town being a close second.

See that Ten Guinea Draught Ale? Over 10% ABV. Why doesn't my local sell that?
