How Do All ,
Today`s cerevesian treat is a pretty rare beast in terms of beer types brewed at Dallam Lane
Before the merger with Robert Cain & Co of Liverpool in late 1921 ; Pale Ale .
Though there were a number of brewings of a Pale Ale type at Dallam Lane in ,
The surviving Dallam Lane brewing books ( Dating from 1891 - 1964/5 ) , before the Great War,
A Pale Ale type was a rare entrant , with the majority of the company`s Pale Ale and Bitter Beer
Requirements being met from their breweries in Burton at their times of operation ;
By the Dallam Lane based Walker`s brewery .
Regarding this , I believe that this beer`s rare entries in the 1895 brewing book indicate that
It`s true origins may lie in the Midland Brewery , Burton on Trent which was leased up to
The period to the mid 1890`s by Peter Walker & Sons ( Warrington ) ;
Sadly I haven`t managed to trace any Brewing Records from the Midland Brewery ,
Or from the other Walker`s of Warrington brewery in Burton on Shobnall Rd ;
That established in the latter half of the 19 Th Century by Sir Andrew Barclay Walker *
Or even the other Peter Walker Brewery in Burton , that On Clarence St **
If any readers know of any other Brewing Books & records from the Walker`s *** breweries ;
Please get in touch with me ; I`d love to hear from you .
