Today`s cerevesian treat of a X X X Ale comes from The Private Brewing Book of H H Tebbutt ,
Part of an uncatalogued accession from Fred`k Bailey`s Star Brewery covering the 1870`s as financial and trading records , with the brewing book being the only specific brewing record from that concern ,
These gems of Cambridge`s beery past are deposited with the helpful team at Cambridgeshire Archives. I must also mention the team at Greene King & Co Ltd in Bury St Edmunds who kindly sponsored the reprographics costs involved ; Thanks for your assistance with my Cambridgeshire research .
