I assume the figures are what the tenant paid to the brewery for beer as for later years there's a barrelage figures, too. At between a thousand and two thousand pounds a year in beer sales, it would have taken decades for a brewery to recoup an investment of 20 or 30 thousand quid. Doesn't seem to make economic sense to me.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5445569787371915337-7108302160066304908?l=barclayperkins.blogspot.com
