W B MEW , LANGTON & Co : FAMILY ALE 1884

 How Do All ,

Here`s a classy Draught Victorian Family Ale recipe for you to try ; this brewing had two different 
original gravities , one at 1.050 and one at 1.052..
I`d contend that the higher gravity would be bottled , as the IBU rating of both is the same . 
  This recipe is taken from W B Mew , Langton & Co`s Brewing Book 1884 - 1885 @ ML 44 /4 ,
Deposited with the team at the The Isle of Wight Records Office : Ref No , Brewing Book 1884 - 1885 @  ML 44 / 4 , Photos of the book were kindly sent by Jeff Sechiari of The Brewery History Society ,
Cheers Jeff , I really appreciate you sending me the photos .

MARK BINNIE & CO : 54 /- I P A 1904

How Do All , 

Here`s a Scottish I P A recipe for you all to try  from the Edinburgh brewery of Mark Binnie & Co .        Mark Binnie learned his trade at the Edinburgh brewery of Morison & Thomson , before moving to County Durham where he was employed by C F & M Forster , returning to Edinburgh in 1881 when he began building the Nungate Brewery ( Brewing by 1882 ).                                                                          
The brewery continued under the ownership of Mark Binnie until his decease in 1924 , when the business was inherited by William Binnie , continuing until 1937 when it was bought by it`s larger local rivals , William Younger & Co .

This beer is taken from the Brewing Notebook of John Binnie 1903 - 1906 @ BH 6/1/1/1 ;                       Part of the Scottish Brewing Archive at Glasgow University Archives & Special Collections                                          Website @ https://www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/archivespecialcollections
