In 1967, a section of the River Derwent, in County Durham, was stopped by a dam and the land stretching three miles above it was flooded. There were six buildings submerged in the project: In the great scheme of things, six buildings seems no great loss; excepting that the farm had also formerly been a tiny pub called "The Woodcock," owned by James Thornycroft, who was famous up and down dale for his old-fashioned beer. The beer didn't have a name. When quizzed on the great ale in later years, 81-year-old Martin Mass said he remembered the taste perfectly, but doesn't remember it having a proper name. "It was just beer, man," he said, as if to ask its name was an affront to its brewer. "Old ale," he told the reporter from the Evening Chronicle in 1992 after a good deal of coaxing. "Old-fashioned ale. You didn't need more than two pints, you didn't want more. Two was very sufficient. You can't get it anywhere these days." Martin was the last of the Woodcock regulars and he went to his reward just weeks after the interview. Knowing that I have a somewhat keen interest in beer making, the reporter passed along his notes to me and I have since complimented them with an extraordinary find that makes this work possible. On a hunch, I contacted an elderly lady named Parsons who lived in the village of Edmundbyers; hard across the reservoir from where the Woodcock would have stood. Mrs. Parsons had a little book she had found among her father's things when he had died in 1956. And the little book once belonged to James Thornycroft. And the little book contains a collection of esoteric notes on cow-keeping, cheese manufacture, stone wall repair and on beer making, including, I believe, the original recipe for the farmhouse old-fashioned ale beloved of those 30 long dead devotees of the Woodcock. In his flowing hand, in a red-hue that looks more like elderberry juice than ink, James has recorded a good deal of brewing lore that will allow the resurrection of not just one, but several fine old ales and barley wines, although nowhere does it mention them by those names. Nor do they have a cute 'brand' name like Thornycroft's Sparkling Ale, nor even stylistic denominations such as Bitter or Mild. Like so many of his generation, James took for granted that whomever used his notes (if indeed they were ever intended for any other than himself) would be versed in the craft and perfectly familiar with standard quantities, mashing temperatures, cellarmanship, gyling and such. If you are not so familiar with those terms, fear not, for that information has been fleshed out and modernised.

For Craft Beer Drinkers and Homebrewers Alike From early English origins to modern American examples like Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot and Rogue’s XS Old Crustacean, barley wines are a favored style among homebrewers and craft beer drinkers alike. In Brewing Barley Wines, widely respected beer and brewing writer Terry Foster presents the history and development of the style as well as the guidance and expertise necessary to successfully homebrew it yourself. The book opens with an exploration of the definition of the style from its murky past to somewhat arbitrary modern standards. Foster explores the style guidelines given by the Brewers Association (BA) and the Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) and finds them to be narrow, even faulty, showing that many beers not designated as barley wines—including some stock ales, Scotch ales, wheat wines, and even double IPAs—can be said to fit the style. Foster then goes on to give a history of barley wine, which saw its first specifically labeled commercial example as recently as 1903, but which has been produced for centuries under a variety of names. Originally an English style, barley wines were not generally brewed in America until the rise of craft brewing in the late twentieth century. But having cemented a foothold in the New World, with many craft breweries having at least one featured example and sometimes several, barley wines are now rarely produced by British brewers due to heavy taxation on strong beers. Foster then examines the ingredients used in barley wines as well as best practices and procedures for brewing them, including how to create and successfully manage the high-gravity worts required for making these beers. Finally, Foster provides a collection of sixty recipes showcasing the variety and range of ingredients explored in the book with detailed instructions for making them at home. Brewing Barley Wines belongs in the library of every craft beer drinker or homebrewer.

In a barn in Somerset, plans are afoot to ferment a beer-cider hybrid with wild yeast that blows on the wind, while in Yorkshire an almost extinct style of `salty 'n' sour' wheat beer is being resurrected for the 21st century. Fifty years ago, this would have seemed impossible. Back then the prospects for British beer looked weak, sweet, bland and fizzy, as colossal combines took over the industry, closing local breweries and putting profit before palate. Yet today the number of breweries is at a post-war high, with over a thousand in operation. Whether you drink traditional, CAMRA-approved `real ale' or prefer a super-strong, fruit-infused, barrel-aged Belgian-style `saison', you are spoilt for choice. In Brew Britannia acclaimed beer bloggers Boak and Bailey tell the story of a very British fightback. Following a cast of bloody-minded City bankers, hippie microbrewers, style gurus, a Python, and a lot of men in pubs, they reveal how punter power pulled the humble pint back from the brink.

That the history and curiosities of Ale and Beer should fill a bulky volume, may be a subject for surprise to the unthinking reader; and that surprise will probably be intensified, on his learning that great difficulty has been experienced in keeping this book within reasonable limits, and at the same time doing anything like justice to the subject. Since the dawn of our history Barley-wine has been the “naturall drinke” for an “Englysshe man,” and has had no unimportant influence on English life and manners. It is, therefore, somewhat curious that up to the present, among the thousands of books published annually, no comprehensive work on the antiquities of ale and beer has found place. Some years ago this strange neglect of so excellent a theme was observed by the late John Greville Fennell, best known as a contributor to The Field, and who, like “John of the Dale,” was a “lover of ale.” With him probably originated the idea of filling this void in our literature. As occasion offered he made extracts from works bearing on the subject, and in time amassed a considerable amount of material, which was, however, devoid of arrangement. Old age overtaking him before he was able to commence writing his proposed book, he asked me to undertake that which from failing health he was unable to accomplish. To this I assented, and at the end of some months had prepared a complete scheme of the book, with the materials for each chapter carefully grouped. That arrangement, for which I am responsible, has, with a few slight modifications, been carefully adhered to. The work did not then proceed further, as to carry out my scheme a large amount of additional matter, from sources not then available, was required. A few months later my friend was taken seriously ill, and, finding his end approaching, directed that on his decease all papers connected with the book should be placed at my disposal. His death seems to render a statement of our respective shares in the book desirable. When able to resume work on the book, with the object of hastening its publication, I obtained the assistance of my friend, Mr. J. M. D——. By the collection of fresh matter, in amplification of that already arranged, and the addition of several new features, we have considerably increased the scope of the work, and, it is to be hoped, added to its attractiveness. To my friend’s researches in the City of London and other Records is due the bringing to light of many curious facts, so far as I am aware, never before noticed. He has also rendered me great assistance in those portions of the book in which the antiquities of the subject are specially treated. The illustrations have been in most part taken from rare old works. As any smoothing away of defects in such relics of the past would be deemed by many an offence against the antiquarian code of morality, they have been reproduced in exact fac-simile, and will no doubt appeal to those interested in the art of the early engraver, and amuse many with their quaintness. As aptly terminating the chapter devoted to an account of the medicinal qualities of ale and beer, I have ventured to enter upon a short consideration of the leading teetotal arguments. In extending their denunciations to ale and beer drinkers, the total abstainers are, in my opinion, working a very grievous injury on the labouring classes, who for centuries have found the greatest benefit from the use of malt liquors. Barley-broth should be looked upon as the temperance drink of the people or, in other words, the drink of the temperate.
