How Do All ,
I hope that you all enjoyed the table of beers I posted earlier this week , Continuing the
Bitters theme of recent posts , here`s one of the two beers specifically entered as " Bitter " in
the Private Brewing Book of H H Tebbutt 1881 - 1889 deposited with the helpful team at
Cambridgeshire Archives as an Uncatalogued Accession .
As with the Beers Table ; I`m grateful to the team at the Archives for their help , And to the team down in
St Edmunds at Greene King Ltd for their assistance with the reprographics charges , Cheers Guys
I really appreciate your assistance with my first foray into Cambridgeshire`s beery history .
