LINCOLNSHIRE BEERY HISTORY : PART 1

How Do All , 

Thanks to the nice folks at Cambridgeshire Archives ;

 A Big thanks Sue at the Reprograhics Bureau and the team @ Huntingdon Library who kindly took the time to take some snaps of the Brewing Book : 17 Th June 1889 - 12 Th December 1891 @ KHAC 2 / 2531 / 2 , Part of the Lowe Son & Cobbold collection I`m able to bring you a sample analysis of some of the beers in that brewing book , the other production record in that collection is ,

Lowe Son & Cobbold Brewing Book 1894 - 1904 @ KHAC 2 / 2531 / 3   . 

  

Sadly the Lowe Son & Cobbold records are the only Brewing Production Records in the county archives catalogue ; with NONE from a Cambridgeshire brewer or brewery .

If any Blog readers have any brewing records in their personal / company archives & collections, or are able to help with photos of records in publicly accessable collections , Please get in touch or leave a coment below . I`d love to hear from you .

To those currently operating brewers who might be able to assist , I would only ask for permission to publish an analysis table of Beer Types , Strengths Etc if the owner is unable to allow publication of Home Brew recipies .
