SIDNEY EVERSHED & CO : PALE ALES 1891 - 1892

 How Do All ,

Today`s Info Post is a short one about the Pale Ales of Sidney Evershed & Co ;
With the information drawn from the Pupil Brewer`s notebook of William J Younger ,
Part of the Wm Younger Archives , themselves  part of the internationally important 
Scottish Brewing Archive ; Cared for by the good folks in Glasgow 
At The University of Glasgow Special Collections & Archives .

The notebook , An ideally sized pocket notebook is crammed with brewings carried out at 
Evershed`s Bank Square brewery whilst Wm J Younger was a pupil there in the 1890`s ; 
 One noticeable difference in the beers of Evershed`s and those of John Marston & Sons in, 
The early 1890`s is the absence of both Brewing Sugars and Adjunct Cereals in those produced at 
Evershed`s brewery which was to close about fourteen years afterwards ,
Not long after their subsumation into the larger corporate folds of their Burton neighbours , 
Marston , Thompson & Co Ltd in 1905 .
