Thomas Hardy's Ale
Thomas Hardy's Ale is a Barley wine named after famous English novelist and poet Thomas Hardy. The brand has gone under numerous owners over the years, but now is currently brewed under contract at Meantime Brewery. History In 1968, Eldridge Pope Brewery created a barley wine recipe to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the death of Thomas Hardy. A pint bottle sold for an English pound, a large sum of money at the time. It was meant to be a one-off brew, but in 1974 a second vintage was created. In 1999 the brewery stopped making the beer and the following year the brewery shuttered its doors. In 2003 beverage exporter George Saxon bought the recipe and licensed it to be produced by O'Hanlon’s Brewery, but that arrangement ended in 2008. In 2013 Interbrau purchased the recipe and after three years began brewing the beer at Meantime Brewing. Products Each label has the date and batch number.

Greenwich, London
Greenwich ( , ,) is a town in south-east London, England, within the ceremonial county of Greater London. It is situated east-southeast of Charing Cross. Greenwich is notable for its maritime history and for giving its name to the Greenwich Meridian (0° longitude) and Greenwich Mean Time.

These buildings became the Royal Naval College in 1873, and they remained a military education establishment until 1998 when they passed into the hands of the Greenwich Foundation. The historic rooms within these buildings remain open to the public; other buildings are used by University of Greenwich and Trinity La ...

A Victorian realist in the tradition of George Eliot, he was influenced both in his novels and in his poetry by Romanticism, including the poetry of William Wordsworth. He was highly critical of much in Victorian society, especially on the declining status of rural people in Britain, such as those from his native South West England.

List Of Breweries In England
This is a partial list of breweries in England. Beer in England pre-dates other alcoholic drinks produced in England, and has been brewed continuously since prehistoric times. As a beer brewing country, England is known for its top fermented cask beer (also called real ale) which finishes maturing in the cellar of the pub rather than at the brewery and is served with only natural carbonation. Modern developments include consolidation of large brewers into multinational corporations; growth of beer consumerism; expansion of microbreweries and increased interest in bottle conditioned beers. In 2000, there were around 500 breweries in the UK, while the 2015 edition of the '' Good Beer Guide'' listed 1,285 breweries operating in Britain. A 2015 government analysis found that a new brewery was opening in Britain every other day, with Britain becoming a 'brewing powerhouse'. By 2020, the number of breweries had increased rapidly, and the ''Good Beer Guide'' lists 1,850 breweries. B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
