How Do All ,
In today`s beery information hit , It`s the turn of the XX Light / ` Pale ` Ales ,
As brewed At The Old Brewery on King St , Norwich by the Morgan Brothers .
The " X X L " Ale is , slightly odd , In that it`s absent from all entries after 1878 ;
Either as a single gyle or as oart of a Parti Gyle .
I hope you all today`s info post , It`s the last on the ` Mild Ales Ex King St , following this post
On Morgan`s , I`ll be posting about the Porters and Stouts brewed at The Old Brewery ;
In future posts on this fascinating brewery .
As with other posts about the beers of Morgan`s , the information on which the analysis is based
Is drawn from the contents of The Brewing Book of Henry Edmund Field 1878 - 1881 ;
Cared for as part of the larger Whitbread Archives by the friendly and helpfull team at
The London Archives , Northampton Rd , Clerkenwell , Cat Ref : LMA 4453 / D / 02 / 022
