Shut up about Barclay Perkins - Excise Licences to Makers of Alcoholic Liquors 1900 -
Visit the Shut up about Barclay Perkins site
Numbers again today. Lots of them And not a huge number of words as I have to start cooking Sunday dinner in a minute.
This set is interesting because it breaks down the number of breweries by the UK's constituent countries. Which reveals that the vast majority of breweries were in England and Wales. Every year covered by the table approximately 97% were in England and Wales. While fewer than 90% of the population lived there.
While Scotland contained a disproportionate number of the distilleries. No real surprise there.
The numbers for brewers not for sale - i.e. homebrewers - are a bit weird. In that, unlike those for common brewers, they weren't in constant decline. They were falling slowly until WW I, when they initially rose and then collapsed. Presumably because brewing materials were unavailable. After the war, the numbers shot up again, getting back to almost their 1900 level by 1928. Quite surprising that.
