( continued 3 -~ESIDENTS NOTES. The family and I are back non again, after a great holiday, ( 3 months;, touring Australia. While we were away, I was very lucky to find about 20 old beer bottles end quits a few old labels. On our way over to the West we stopped with Bryant and Eunice Lawson, and we all had a tremendous time. The day that we spent in the Barossa Valley was great, sampling and buying wine. It took about a week to recover from that little jaunt. During our stay in the West, I called in on Hank Armaur and we had a bit of a swap session. Also we went on a tour of the Swan Brewery ( Emu Plant ), and I had a ball, after the tour I could not find the car or the family I was that bad. On our return trip, we stopped with Geoff and Trish Playford at their hotel in Kenttown and we all had a good time. Finally we arrived home loaded down with bottles of wine, old beer bottles, labels, etc., and on behalf of Margaret and the children, I would like to thank all the people mentioned for a tremendous time.
I have just been told on the grapevine that Mrs. Val Grange was involved in a car accident and I and all the members wish her a speedy recovery.
Bryant and Eunice lawson and you~son Pete are off around the world on a six month camping holiday, and asks that his correspondents be patient.
The feature article in this months newsletter is a brief history of brewing in New South Wales, and the labels are some old Tooheys and Tooths from my collection. Any member wishing photocopies can obtain them from Rod Gillard at a cost of 30¢ per brewery, plus return postage • 4

Spirituous liquors were distilled early in the history uf New South Wa les. In 1793 a set tler named Webb, who had obtained a s till from England used the wheot he had grown to manufacture some spirits and this seems to have been the first loca lly made liquor, David Collins mentions that the passion for liquor was so predominant that it operated like a mania, there being nothing which they would not risk to obtain it. While spirits were to be nad those who did any labour refused to be paid in money, or any other article than spirits, which were then from their scarcity sold at six shillings per quart .
The first beer brewed i n Sydney was made by J 0 hn Boston and James Ellis in 1796 from Indian corn, "pr operly ma l ted and bittered '', with the lea ves and stalks of the Cape Gooseberry. Collins states t hat - " Mr . Boston found this t o succeed so well that he erected a some expense a buil ding proper for the business and was, when the ship sailed, engaged in brewing from the abovementioned materi als". Boston's brewery, however, only worked for a brief period .
The high consumption of spirits worried the early Governors and Ki ng endeavoured to import hop plants in order that the brewing of beer might be commenced. He regarded beer as less harmful than r um. Several shipments of hop plants died on the way out. I n August 1802 the Duke of Portland informed King that he had ordered six bags of hops and two complete sets of brewing mn terials to be sent out. His letter said - " The introduction of beer into general use among the inhabit ants would certainly tend in a great degree to lessen consumption of spirituous liquors."
King reported that in 1803 a few hop plants were growing from seed and that he had commenced the erection of a brewery at Parramatta. Difficulty was experienced in findi ng a brewer, but in March 1804, Lieut. Governor Collins sent Thomas Rushton from Tasmania who took charge of the brewery, By September 1 804 the first beer was ready for distribution and during the f ollowing year over 12,000 gallons were b re w8~.
The brewery was expensive to runand in 1806 it was leased to Rushton for two years . He undel'took t o s upply the inhabitants with "table beer11 at sixpence, and "st rong beer" at one shilling per gallon, and not to dispose of it to individuals for the purpose of mo nopolising its sale but to dist r ibute i t as widely as possible.
Bl igh reported in 1807 that beer was ma de principally from maize. In 1808 Thomas Rush ton, who had operated the Parramatta brewery , erected a brewery of his own on Brickfie.ld Hill, Sydney, and about 1810 or 1811 built another at the corner of Hunter and Elizabeth Streets, Sydney. P. Larken had a brewery at Chapel Row ( Castlereaqh Street ) as early as 1804.
Soon after 1800James Squire, a settler at Ryde in 1795 began to experiment in the growing o f hops and in 1605 repor ted to t he governor that he had 200 plants poled and expected t he crop would soon be ready to be gathered . By 1812 five acres of hops had been planted . Squire was the f irst s uccesful hop 9r ower in Australia. He began brewing soon after 1800 and his brewery was carried on for many years. Peter Cunningham, ( Two years in New South Wales} stated that on a tombstone in the Parramatta church yard the following lines were written: " Ye who wish to lie here Drink Squire's beer "
In 1814 four brewing licenses were issued i n Sydney and in 1820 t he number was three . Between 1820 and 1850 many breweries operated in Sydney. Daniel Cooper's Aust ralian Brewery was established in George Street in 1824 and Cooper adver t ised t hat payment f o r beer would be accepted in colonial property or produce at the market price of the day, including land , houses, grain, cattle, s heep , pi gs , poultry, eggs , cheese, butter, kangaroo skins , seal s kins, wood, coal, hemp, flax, shoes, soap, or cedar logs! **
Samuel Terry's Albion Br ewery, opened in 1827, stood on the s ite of the modern Toohey's Standard Brewery i n Elizabeth Street, Sydney. Tooth's Kent Brewery was etsablished in 1835 by Newnham and Tooth in which year Sydney had nine breweries at work. In 1843 the partnership was dissolved and J ohn Tooth's nephews , Robert and Edwin, assumed control, to be joined later by another brother, Frederick. In 1BBB the firm became Too t h and Co. Limited , with a capital of £900, 000 . Tooth 's is the oldest and largest e xisting brewery in N~w South Wales . (continued} 6 NSW Breweries ( continued)
Henf rey and Tooheys established a brewery in Cast lereagh St reet, Sydney i n 1870 . The part nership was disolved i n 1873 a nd James and John T. Toohey opened the Darling Brewery in Harbour Street. In 1878 the firm established the Standard Brewery in Elizabeth Street where the business is still carried on.
Breweries were working in 34 New South Wales country towns by the 20th century. Andrew Thompson had a brewery at Windsor in 1806 and it carried on for some years. Thomas Scarr's brewery was ope rating at Newcast le i n 1825. William Bradley established a brewery at Goulburn in 1836. Pa rramatta brewed be er for a long period a nd Vallack's brewery , earlier owned by P . Hayes, ceased operations a s l a t e as 191 0 .
Ra pid c ha nges t oo k place i n t he brewing i ndust r y i n the mi d nine t ee nt h century. Breweries, too numerous to mention, sprang up , kept a hold on life for a year or two, thsnsuccumbed to the fierce competition. In the l ote 1850's however , o ne Joseph Marshall e stablished the Paddington Brewery which took root, prospered, and became famed throughout the state. It survived as a separate entity until 1912.
Ano ther to become an important figure in brewi ng circles at t he t urn of the cent ury wa s Edmund Resch who acquired the bu ildings and property of the N.S.W. Lager Be er Company i n Dowling St r eet , Redf ern.
Mr . Res c h then operating the Waverley Brewer y i n Ed gecliff e Road , t rans f erred all his activities in 1901 to a new brewery i n Dowling Street, and gave i t the name by which it is still known - Waverley Brewery. Tooth & Co. Limited acquired the brewery from Edmund and Arnold Re sch in 1929. The purchaser's continued to o perate Resch's as a separa te brewing unit and a s such it is still r unning . A noticeable feature of the modern phase of the industry ha s been the disappea rance, to a large extent, of the small local brewery and the eme rgence of large compa nies equipped to answer t he economic demand of large scale produc t ion and distribution .
The only brewing enterpr ise t o ent er the Sydney brewi ng t rade i n this century has been t he British Br ewer ies P t~. Lt d., established i n 1935. The name was later c hanged to Millers Brewer y Pty . Limited and it has since been taken over by Tooheys Ltd.
A country brewing fir m commenced operations i n Grafton some yea rs a go and this has also been absorbed by Too heys Limited.

Even t hough the beer was bought at dis count prices it was 5c a bot t le highe r than last year , bu t t he l abel cost was lowe r a s avoided costs of artwork .
