Chicken Beer?

Factual Questions
1

Hi all,

A few years back a friend was telling me about this recipe that he had seen in a brewing book from the 1920’s or 1930’s that included chicken in the brew.

At the time I tried to get a copy of this from him (more for interest sake than out of any desire to actually brew it) but it never happened, and now I am not in touch with him anymore.

Does anybody here have this book, and if so could you please post a copy of the chicken beer recipe.

Thanks!
Dave T

I hate to say it, but Google is your friend. Try doing a search for “cock ale”.

Recipe.

Chuck Papazian in his first Joy Of Home Brewing book also quoted a recipe for Cock Ale, may be the same one…
