Hindmarsh Brewery
The Hindmarsh Brewery was a brewery founded 1844 in Hindmarsh, in the then colony of South Australia, by E. J. F. "Fred" Crawford. Crawford lost possession of the business in 1859, then re-established it on a different site before becoming bankrupt. It was then taken over by Henry Haussen and George Catchlove, and was successfully operated by them and their successors until 1927. History The Hindmarsh Brewery has been touted as the first in the colony, but others almost certainly predated it: there was *Anthony Lillyman's (died 1847) brewery, on the banks of the River Torrens, which was a known landmark in March 1838, and closed later that year. *John Warren (c. 1783 – 22 March 1873), arrived January 1838 aboard ''Royal Admiral'', had a brewery on the banks of the Torrens that same year * Union Brewery on south side of Rundle street, James Place corner: Daniel Cudmore 1838 to 1841?; John Richmond (c. 1797–1862) and John Primrose 1841 to November 1875. *Grenfell Street brewer ...

Brewery
A brewery or brewing company is a business that makes and sells beer. The place at which beer is commercially made is either called a brewery or a beerhouse, where distinct sets of brewing equipment are called plant. The commercial brewing of beer has taken place since at least 2500 BC; in ancient Mesopotamia, brewers derived social sanction and divine protection from the goddess Ninkasi. Brewing was initially a cottage industry, with production taking place at home; by the ninth century, monasteries and farms would produce beer on a larger scale, selling the excess; and by the eleventh and twelfth centuries larger, dedicated breweries with eight to ten workers were being built. The diversity of size in breweries is matched by the diversity of processes, degrees of automation, and kinds of beer produced in breweries. A brewery is typically divided into distinct sections, with each section reserved for one part of the brewing process. History Beer may have been known in Neol ...
