Hi All ,
Here`s a small table of some brewings of Porter & Stout , as brewed at the Cannon Brewery .
This post is possible thanks to the efforts of the ever helpfull team at Sheffield City Archives ,
Located on Shoreham Street . A short walk from the Train Station ;
The first doccument examined was a tattered looking narrow notebook with no front cover
Catalogue No : SHW 6 / 1 / 2 / 3 .
Hardly an auspicious start , but as I leafed through the pages reading about a Victorian Brewer`s observations of brewing , I found brewing records , Merely recorded as ;
" From Captain Latham`s Book , Cannon Brewery , St John`s St , Clerkenwell London " .
These brewings cover selected brewings of SOME beers produced by The Cannon Brewery in 1871 - 1872 I hope that you all enjoy the table;
Look out for the recipe post tomorrow, It`ll be a Porter 🍻
