Request time again. We're still in Yorkshire, this time in the west of the county. In Halifax.
I went to Halifax once. Only place I've ever seen a "Men Only" sign. That, coincidentally, was a Webster's pub.
I did drink a bit of Webster's in my youth, as they had several pubs in Leeds. What was that one in Armley called? They used to sell the Dark Mild, which wasn't that common. Most places seemed to sell Green Label rather than the Dark Mild.
That 1950's lineup is a good one. Something you see both sides of the Pennines. Mild, Best Mild and Bitter. With Best Mild pale and Mild dark. Though, in this case, the Mild isn't all that dark. 80 or 80 EBC is more typical for a Dark Mild. 55 EBC is more like Banks's Mild.
Look at that attenuation in the 1950's. Those draught beers must have been pretty dry. I'm being kind. Watery, more like.
Those two 1980's Milds, Light and Dark with the same OG. I wonder if they were the same beer, just the one got extra caramel? What am I saying? That's obviously the case. Who the hell would have bothered brewing two different Milds to the same gravity?
Here's a question to ponder. That Sam Brown Ale: is it a Northern or Southern type?
On that note, I'll pass you over to the numbers:
