there is an all grain recipe in Dave Lines book 'brewing beers like those you buy' but i don't think we can publish it on here with it being in a book.

In the 60s and 70s Whitbread had several brewers around the country all making a trophy bitter and from my memory all different. The one around this area I think came from either the London or Luton brewers and was awful. But I remember drinking one from the Cheltenham and one from one of their northern brewers that was fairly decent.
