Were those really the good old days?

I really shouldn’t admit how fascinating I find most of the numbers Ron Pattinson assembles.

The particular series that has me on the edge of my seat right now are the posts like these: assessing beer quality and Barclay Perkins Porter and Stout quality in the 1920’s.

These provide some hint if quality was a reason some styles, and some specific brands, survived at various points in time and why some didn’t.

I just wish somebody could find tasting notes to go with them. (Isn’t going to happen.)
