FREDERICK BAILEY & Co : I P A 1888

 How Do All ,

Following the results of a recent poll over on Twitter ; Here`s the recipe for another classic I P A , 
This time from the Star Brewery in Cambridge ,
 Operated at this time by Frederick Bailey who`d purchased the brewery in the late 1850`s . 
 Sadly the Private Brewing Book of H H Tebbutt 1881 - 1889 is the only known surviving brewing production record from a Cambridgeshire brewery in a public archive ; So if you know of any other surviving Brewing  Records from Cambridgeshire Breweries ,Leave a comment below , I`d love to hear from you , I`m happy to credit people for submissions and respect privacy where requested .

As with other posts from this source ; I`m grateful to the team at the Archives for their help , 
And to the team at Greene King Ltd for their assistance with the reprographics charges , 
Thanks Guys 🍻 .

Cheers All and Happy Brewing ,

Edd
