Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Austro-Bavarian Brewery advert from 1884
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Remember that discussion we had about the Anglo-Bavarian Brewery. And whether they actually brewed Lager. (Their advert on the wall behind me says they didn't - all the beers illustrated are in British styles). I didn't think you would. Not to worry. I'll explain it all again.
Gary Gillman pointed me in the direction of a 19th-century advert for the similarly-named Austro-Bavarian Lager Beer Brewery of London. Take a look. They very clearly did brew Lager. Or at least beers with Lager names.
Here are some highlights from the advert:
"The first Lager Beer Brewery Erected in the United Kingdom"
Tottenham Lager
Tottenham Munich
Tottenham Bock
Tottenham Pilsen
all 3s 6d for Imperial pints. It must be for a dozen bottles. That's 3.5d a pint. At a time when draught Mild was about 2d.
Not sure about that claim. At least they don't say they were the first to brew Lager in the UK. Because they certainly weren't that.
They didn't last long.https://blogger.googleusercontent.co...s.blogspot.com
