John Primrose (1803 – 28 November 1876) was a Scottish distiller and brewer who had a substantial career in the colony of South Australia. He was the founder of the Union Brewery, also known as Primrose's Brewery, in Rundle Street, Adelaide, the colony's first successful brewery.

He gained further experience managing a distillery for the Messrs. Shea, of Belfast, then that of Beamish, in Cork. He remained with them for several years, only leaving them to establish a brewery on his own account on the Isle of Man. He was then attracted to Australia, with the prospect of managing a large established dis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Colony Of South Australia
In modern parlance, a colony is a territory subject to a form of foreign rule. Though dominated by the foreign colonizers, colonies remain separate from the administration of the original country of the colonizers, the '' metropolitan state'' (or "mother country"). This administrative colonial separation makes colonies neither incorporated territories nor client states. Some colonies have been organized either as dependent territories that are not sufficiently self-governed, or as self-governed colonies controlled by colonial settlers. The term colony originates from the ancient Roman '' colonia'', a type of Roman settlement. Derived from ''colon-us'' (farmer, cultivator, planter, or settler), it carries with it the sense of 'farm' and 'landed estate'. Furthermore the term was used to refer to the older Greek ''apoikia'' (), which were overseas settlements by ancient Greek city-states. The city that founded such a settlement became known as its ''metropolis'' ("mother-city ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Distilleries In Australia
Distillation, or classical distillation, is the process of separating the components or substances from a liquid mixture by using selective boiling and condensation, usually inside an apparatus known as a still. Dry distillation is the heating of solid materials to produce gaseous products (which may condense into liquids or solids); this may involve chemical changes such as destructive distillation or cracking. Distillation may result in essentially complete separation (resulting in nearly pure components), or it may be a partial separation that increases the concentration of selected components; in either case, the process exploits differences in the relative volatility of the mixture's components. In industrial applications, distillation is a unit operation of practically universal importance, but is a physical separation process, not a chemical reaction. An installation used for distillation, especially of distilled beverages, is a distillery. Distillation includes the fo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
People Educated At The Royal High School, Edinburgh
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

Walkerville Brewery
Walkerville Brewery was a brewer of beer in Adelaide, South Australia, originally founded in the 1840s. The company became a co-operative, and grew by admitting hotel owners as shareholders, and absorbed smaller breweries. After several amalgamations it moved its operations to Southwark (now part of Thebarton) and by 1920 it was South Australia's largest brewing company. It was bought out by the South Australian Brewing Company in 1939 and its facilities became known as the company's Southwark brewery. The brewery produced Nathan beer (Nathan Bitter), named after a new type of beer making equipment introduced in 1927 (later renamed Southwark Bitter by the SA Brewing Co.). History First phase The first brewery in Walkerville was founded in 1847 by William Colyer and William Williams, reported by one source to be South Australia's first licensed publican, although later research suggests that he was the second to be licensed and the third brewer in the colony. The partnership wa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Morphett Street Brewery
The Morphett Street Brewery was a brewer of beer in Adelaide, South Australia. History John Reid ( – c. 24 November 1863) and Isaiah Reid (c. 1832 – 9 April 1877) had a licensed grocery shop on a half acre of land on Morphett Street near North Terrace in the Adelaide city centre from 1857, then began brewing there from 1859. After the death of his brother, Isaiah Reid took on John Burn Harrison as a partner, then proved insolvent 1866. In 1868, which may have been Reid's last year of operation, their production was of beer. This made the Morphett Street Brewery the smallest in the city; one third that of Simms & Chapman's West End Brewery and half that of Syme & Sison's Pirie Street Brewery. Their pale ale was bottled partly by Noltenius and partly by Aldridge. The factory was then taken over by Fred Fuller & Co. who continued operating on the premises until perhaps as late as 1873. Isaiah Reid later conducted a brewery at Port Augusta. Frederick Robinson Fuller (died 1 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

The West End Brewery in Hindley Street, Adelaide, was a South Australian brewer of beer founded in the colony of South Australia in 1859 by a consortium of brewers. Its West End Ale was a popular brand and the enterprise was a successful one.

The factory building on Port Road, Adelaide, Port Road at Thebarton continues to be called the West End Brewery, owing to the large sign advertising West End Draught, West End beer, before and after its takeover by Lion (Australasian company)#South Australian Brewing Company, Lion.
