Ever wonder what Whitbread were brewing in Chiswell Street during the 1950's? No? I didn't really expect you would have. Now me, there's another story. I have. Often. Wonder no longer. Here are (pretty much) all the details you need to know about Whitbread's Ales. (Not the Stouts, because they're in different brewing books. I've not got around to those yet.) It wasn't a particularly exciting...

... from the black black oven (no other superfluous foods were added) and a "screw tap" of Whitbread Pale Ale. This was followed by a fag and a relaxing listen to Little Feat's "Sailing Shoes" or possibly "The Grand Wazoo" by Frank V Zappa. Then down to the pub with Sheba the Alsatian for a tussle with the locals and some fairly spaced conversations. (Sheba didn't...

A quick look at two U.K. companies -- Vodafone Group PLC and hotels-and-restaurants company Whitbread PLC -- illustrates the problem. Vodafone has 52.6 billion shares in issue, while Whitbread has 175 million. Back in autumn 2007, around two billion Vodafone shares were traded per week, while around 15 million Whitbread shares traded a week.

SEVERAL ITEMS IN THE Sunday Business Post hit home with me this week and I've made a five minute Qik clip to illustrate the point. Along the way, I hear the voice of Dean Whitbread reminding me that Sennheiser earbuds would improve my audio levels. On the front page sits Michael O'Leary with a plan to pocket an easy EUR 100 from every passenger who forgets to print a boarding card. This is happening...

... Brown ("We throw the Bourbon in for you!"). Table IPA. What about that? I've some great Whitbread, low-gravity IPA recipes. Table Porter. Barclay Perkins made one in the 19th century. You're welcome to its details. Family Ale - no problem. Beer isn't just a sledgehammer. It can be a toy hammer. Aaah. Tetley's Mild. Low-alcohol beers that aren't just stunts. Stuff from - let's think...

This was classic Buffett territory and, perhaps unsurprisingly, the outcome for a contrarian investor was Buffett-style rewards. For the first three years, a period during which the FTSE 100 fell by almost 40pc, the shares moved sideways. Then they really took off as investors regained their appetite for the stock market. By the time they peaked in April 2007, Whitbread shares had risen to more...

... too strong (in its modern form anyway) and after pretty much dying out in the twentieth century (Whitbread destroyed their last porter ageing vat in 1918), it's experienced something of a revival in recent years. Porter has its origins in a technological quick fix, an inauspicious beginning as a kind of beery fast food. Before, beer tended to be either 'mild' (young) or 'stale' (mature),...

... awards I attended in London after taking up my job as The Scotsman's Books Editor was the 2001 Whitbread awards. Jonathan Raban – who had already written Passage to Juneau – was one of the guests at the awards ceremony. As nervous as any fan before his literary idol, I approached him as he was queuing for his coat at the end of the night and introduced myself.Amazingly, he remembered my...

I have been looking through our hop profiles and found that we have not written about East Kent Goldings (or any Goldings hops) yet. This variety is Mike’s “go-to” English hop. He uses these in his Ordinary Bitters and other English style ales. Goldings is an Old English hop variety that was cultivated from a wild variety named Canterbury Whitebine. There are other Goldings (Kent, Whitbread)...
