Inspired by this post of Zythophile about the Meux vat-bursting disaster (http://zythophile.wordpress.com/2010/10/17/so-what-really-happened-on-october-17-1814/), here are some beers from the Tottenham Court Road Brewery.

Not a very large table, I'm afraid. And a couple of the beers - those from November - almost certainly weren't brewed there. According to Zythophile the brewery on Tottenham Court Road closed sometime in the autumn of 1921. Brewing was moved to the Nine Elms brewery in Wandsworth, also owned by Meux.

Given the location, it must have been worth a bob or two.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5445569787371915337-8364733953132564484?l=barclayperkins.blogspot.com
