Whyte was a Scot and was in his 40s when he arrived in Tasmania so I assume he had some experience with brewing in the North and brewed something very similar to the Yorkshire-style one.<br /><br />Unfortunately we don't seem to have amazing log books and other records stashed away like there are for BP, Truman and many others. Many of these little breweries sprang up and died out quickly and there's virtually no record of them beyond what can be gleaned from newspapers. The ones that did survive to federation then merged or were bought out and today's big players retain the IP. I've asked Cascade Brewery if I could have a look at their 19th century records and got a polite but firm 'no'.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150341970142747110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-935905561208885670.post-7672386287627685662014-05-11T20:29:42.551+10:002014-05-11T20:29:42.551+10:00I love seeing how people adapted the brewing tradi...I love seeing how people adapted the brewing traditions of their forefathers when they got to the various ends of the British Empire.
