    This is tough - the only trace of Tower Brand Beer I can find is a few mentions in the Daily Gleaner newspaper of Kingston, Jamaica in the 1930s where its not clear whether it was imported or brewed locally.

    Not really, found it here but not much help.

    Could it be from the Danish Faxe Brewery perhaps?

    That was also the only image on the whole internet that I could find.

    I wondered that, but the towers are so different and I couldn't find any other connection with Faxe.

    We can rule out the Tower Brewery in Tadcaster but, the second picture of the beer mat has "Great Grimsby" in faint pencil. There was a brewery in Grimsby called Hewitt Brothers Ltd and the address given is Tower Brewery, Pasture St, Grimsby. Unfortunately I can't find a confirming logo, just a big H on the sign brackets, or text on leaded windows etc.
    This one is closer but no cigar...

    The brewery and its 320 tied houses was taken over by United Breweries in 1961, which became part of Bass Charrington and the brewery was shut in 1968.

    This has got some of you thinking … thanks for the efforts.
    I am not sure at all but I can see what OB means with the Grimbsy connection.
