I am looking for a specific version of Chrome Beta for Android.
Is there an official repository of previous versions somewhere which I can download from?
I don't trust the random download sites that come up in a search for it.

I don't think so.

What's wrong with the current beta?

Nothing is wrong with the current version.  I wanted to view some functionality in a specific version of Beta which no longer exists in the current release.

I am actually trying to find a specific patch which fixed a bug related to the scroll gesture and its been difficult to find.  I have isolated a version where it was broken and wanted to view the subsequent versions to see when it was fixed, so that I can isolate the patches and try and identify the fix.  Let me know if you know of a better process.

If it's not Chrome-specific (i.e. Chromium exhibits the problem) and you have a reliable test, you can use http://www.chromium.org/developers/bisect-builds-py to find a specific build where it changed.

Oh, I see. If you just want to track down a revision with a fix, we have public builds of the "chromium test shell" apk here: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-continuous/index.html?path=Android/ They're not the whole UI, but they use the same blink engine as chrome builds and should suffice for your purpose. (Or you could check out the code and bisect there, but that'll be slower.)

Oh, sorry. Nico pointed out that script doesn't work for Android builds. Manually doing similar as below might work too.

Thanks, but it seems it only goes roughly 1 month back. 
Do you know if there is an archive that goes further back ?
