How Do All ,
You may have noticed a severe lack of Peter Walker & Sons recipies on this blog ; That`s due in part to a completely fresh analysis of their brewing books and also that their beers from the 1890`s and Early 1900`s form a major part of my first book on Historic Beers and Brewing which , Believe it or not is , edging closer to publication !!!! .
This recipe comes from the Walker`s of Warrington Dallam Lane Brewing Books , deposited with the fine folks at Liverpool Central Library & Archives .
