LlOYD & Co , St ALBANS : BEERS 1872 - 1874

 How Do All , 

Today`s post is a short one ; I`ve just finished my analysis of the brewings of W O Baily ,
Whilst he was brewing at the Kingsbury Brewery from Friday 4 Th October 1872 , until 
The last entry for brewings at St Albans on New Year`s Eve 1874 ; 
As with the post on this brewery`s Pale Ale , I`m gratefull to Martyn Cornell for the information 
on the ownership of the brewery during the period covered by the records .

The entries after 31/12/1874 in this volume refer to W O Baily`s work at  Chapman`s Black Lion Brewery in Brighton from the 21 St of April 1875 :  XX Mild Bitter ,until the 14 Th August 1875
 ( X Mild Bitter ) ;
  This analysis is taken from information in the W O Baily Brewing Book 1872-5 @ B 33 A5 1,
Part of the Brakspear`s collection cared for by the ever helpfull and friendly team in Cowley ,
at The Oxfordshire History Centre on Temple Rd .

If any blog readers are able to assist with my research by sending photos of other historic 
Hertfordshire & surrounding counties brewing records, send them to me 
                                                       @ beerhistorybloke@gmail.com ;
All submissions credited to the researcher & archives , though in the case of private collections , 
I`m happy to respect source confidentiality and credit Viz, " Records in a Private Collection "
 in any Blog posts and Journal articles .
