How Do All ,
As a friend was kind enough to mention there was , In his view a paucity of Mild Ale receipts
On here ; I thought why not pop a historic mild recipie from Sussex up .
As with my other posts on Chapman`s , this receipt is from the Brighton brewery whose
Founder met a very sad end In one of his own containers , that is if the urban legends / myths
Are to be believed !!
The source of today`s Cerevesian delight ? ,
It`s from the Brewing Books of H A Baily , whilst he was either a Pupil Brewer or ,
Employed as Eg : 2 Nd Brewer at Chapman`s Black Lion Brewery in Brighton ,
In the latst quarter of the 19 Th Century .
The Baily family Brewing Books are held by the nice and friendly team in Cowley ,
At The Oxfordhire History Centre in the former St Luke`s Church on Temple Rd ;
