The Brewing Industry: Archive Report The Brewing Industry: Archive Report The Brewing Industry: A Brewery History Society project supported by English Heritage February 2010 Front cover: Printing woodblocks used to make beer bottle labels at the Cheltenham Original Brewery, later Whitbread Flowers, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, where brewing ceased in 1998. (National Monuments Record/ English Heritage) The Brewing Industry: Archive Report Text by Lynn Pearson The Brewing Industry: A Brewery History Society project supported by English Heritage February 2010 Brewery History Society, 102 Ayelands, New Ash Green, Longfield, Kent DA3 8JW www.breweryhistory.com Foreword The Brewery History Society (BHS) was founded in 1972 to promote research into all aspects of the brewing industry, to encourage the interchange of information about breweries and brewing, and to collect photographic and other archive information about brewery history. The Society publishes a Newsletter and a quarterly journal Brewery History, which first appeared in 1972. It has also published a national directory and a series of county-wide surveys of historic breweries; the Society’s archive is held by Birmingham Central Library. Further details of BHS activities may be found at <http://www.breweryhistory.com>. The ongoing threat to the historic fabric of the English brewing industry was discussed at the conference From Grain to Glass, organised jointly by English Heritage (EH), the BHS and the Association for Industrial Archaeology (AIA), which took place at Swindon on 13 June 2003; the joint BHS and Victorian Society study day From Hop to Hostelry: the brewing and licensed trades 1837 -1914 (Young’s Ram Brewery, Wandsworth, 25 February 2006); and during the AIA Ironbridge Working Weekend (Coalbrookdale, 29 April 2006). Following this EH agreed to support a project on ‘The Brewing Industry’, which was carried out between July 2007 and September 2009. Its aims were to provide up to date information on all pre-1940 operating breweries, to compile a comprehensive list of historic brewery buildings (the computerised BHS Breweries Database), to consider the future of the industry’s archives, and to undertake a national assessment on the industry, in the form of a Strategy for the Historic Industrial Environment report (SHIER). Acknowledgements The project steering committee comprised Jeff Sechiari (BHS Chair), Ray Anderson (BHS President), and BHS committee members Ken Smith and Mike Bone. The project researcher was Lynn Pearson, author and BHS member. Much of the groundwork was carried out by BHS members, who contributed to a survey of England’s remaining brewery buildings. They included: John Arguile, David Baker, Paul Bayley, Mike Brown, Des Clarke, Neil Clarke, David Cox, Tony Crosby, George Crutcher, Geoff Dye, Philip Eley, Ray Farleigh, Robert Flood, Simon Gispert, Jenny Greenhalgh, John Hodges, Tim Holt, Peter Holtham, Ian Hornsey, Bob Inman, Malcolm James, John Janaway, Ray Kirby, Chris Marchbanks, Mary Miles, Peter Moynihan, Ken Page, Ian Peaty, Steve Peck, Pat Saunders, Mark Steeds, D. J. Taylor, Alan Walker, Jeffrey Waller, Allan Whitaker and John Williamson. The steering committee and Lynn Pearson are very grateful to all those who took part in the survey. We are also grateful to others who assisted with the project, including Heloise Brown (Victorian Society), Tony Calladine, Bruce Hedge (AIA), Sue Hudson, Malcolm C. James (who kindly allowed us to see a copy of his thesis on the brewery buildings of Burton upon Trent), Joseph Mirwitch, Ann Morris, Richard Oxborrow, Amber Patrick, Kingsley Rickard, Sheila Stones and Ken Thomas (Courage Archive). We are also grateful for the support of the Association for Industrial Archaeology. In addition, we are particularly grateful to Norman Barber, former BHS Archivist, without whose earlier research our task would have been impossible. Finally we should like to thank English Heritage for offering us the opportunity to carry out this project. Keith Falconer, EH Head of Industrial Archaeology, provided constant support and enthusiasm for the idea of the brewery industry project. Peter Smith, our EH Project Officer, ensured that we kept on course, while Gareth Watkins, Barney Sloane and Tim Cromack helped considerably in the project’s early stages.

The two most notable events have been the dispersal of records: the Whitbread Archive in 2001 and the Allied Breweries Archive in 2002-3, but there have of course been many other depositions (see Appendix). In the 21st century online searching has made research much simpler, the Access to Archives portal of the National Archives website always being a good starting point (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ a2a/). In addition, the Business Archives Council published its National Strategy for Business Archives in England and Wales in July 2009. 1 Major repositories of brewing industry archives and books 1.1 London Metropolitan Archives 40 Northampton Road, London EC1R 0HB 020 7332 3820 www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/lma Records held by London Metropolitan Archives include those of large brewing companies such as Courage & Co; Watney Combe Reid; Truman Hanbury Buxton; Fuller, Smith and Turner; and London-related items from the Allied Breweries and Whitbread groups. An online catalogue is available at the London Metropolitan Archives website. 1.2 Brewery History Society Archive Archives and Heritage Service, Birmingham Central Library, Chamberlain Square, Birmingham B3 3HQ 0121 303 4511 Information on the Archives and Heritage Service may be obtained from the Birmingham City Council website www.birmingham.gov.uk The archive of the Brewery History Society, which was originally based on items from the Brewers’ Society, includes books, journals, directories, maps, labels, drawings and photographs. The catalogue runs to over 300 pages; a brief version is available to read or download at www.breweryhistory.com.archive.htm 1.3 Modern Records Centre University Library, University of Warwick, Coventry CV4 7AL 02476 524219 www2.warwick.ac.uk/services/library/mrc/ The Modern Records Centre holds a collection of records from various brewers’ organisations including the Brewers’ Society, Country Brewers’ Society, Brewing Patents Limited and the National Trade Defence Association. A subject guide with a brief list of holdings may be downloaded from the website. 1.4 National Brewing Library Oxford Brookes University Library, Gipsy Lane, Oxford OX3 0BP 01865 483136 www.brookes.ac.uk/library/speccoll/brewing.html The National Brewing Library comprises over 3,500 volumes; about a quarter of the items are unique to the collection and do not appear in the catalogues of other major collections including the British Library. The National Brewing Library is based on the combined libraries of the Institute of Brewing, the International Brewers’ Guild, the technical reference library of the Brewers and Licensed Retailers Association, plus the book collection contained within the Whitbread Archive. It continues to be augmented with newly- published books related to brewing, and by donations of older books from companies and individuals. In 2008 it aquired the archive of the late Michael Jackson (1942-2007), the beer writer. The National Brewing Library catalogue may be downloaded from the website in various formats. 1.5 Scottish Brewing Archive Archive Services, 13 Thurso Street, University of Glasgow, Glasgow G11 6PE 0141 3305515 www.archives.gla.ac.uk/sba/default.html As well as its huge collection of records relating to the Scottish brewing industry, the Scottish Brewing Archive has a small number of items relating to English breweries. Its website includes guides to periodical holdings and an alphabetical index of company holdings. 1 2 Whitbread Archive The Whitbread Archive was closed in 2001. Some material was kept by Whitbread plc, but the core collection of historic ledgers was deposited at nearly 50 different record offices; many other items were donated to museums. London Metropolitan Archives holds the records of Whitbread’s Chiswell Street Brewery and the company’s London area subsidiaries. They have been catalogued, and details of the holdings - which extend for well over 100 metres of shelving - are available in the London Metropolitan Archives online catalogue. 3 Allied Breweries Archive The Allied Breweries Archive was held at Burton upon Trent until 2002-3, when it was dispersed to 70 different record offices. The story of the rescue of the archives - an estimated 7.5 tons of material - is told in Anderson and Brown (2003). Recipients of the largest amount of English material were the London Metropolitan Archives (see section 1.1 above) and the Bass Museum (see section 4 below). Not all have yet been catalogued, and even when catalogued, they may not appear immediately on the Access to Archives website. 4 Bass Archive The Bass Archive was still at Molson Coors Brewing Company (UK) Ltd and the Coors Visitor Centre (see Richmond and Turton p58) in early 2010. The Allied Breweries, Allsopp’s and Ind Coope records formerly held at Allied Breweries in Burton (see Richmond and Turton pp41,43,191) were transferred to the Coors Visitor Centre in 2003. Following the closure of the Visitor Centre in June 2008, it was thought that these archives might be moved to the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Archive Service, but it appears that they will remain at what is to be the National Brewery Centre, due to open in April 2010.

  • To Many Beer Lovers, Christian Monks
    The history of monks and brewing To many beer lovers, Christian monks are the archetypes of brewers. It’s not that monks invented beer: Archeologists find it in both China and Egypt around 5000 B.C., long before any Christian monks existed. And it’s not that the purpose of monks is to brew beer: Their purpose is to seek and to serve God, through a specific form of spiritual life. But if monks did not invent beer, and brewing is not their defining vocation, they did play a major role in Western brewing from at least the second half of the first millennium. Let’s take a broad look at how. First, some background. Christian monasticism has its formal roots in the fourth century, when the Roman Empire was still at its height. The Empire suffered serious decline during the fifth century, the era in which St. Benedict lived (c. 480 - March 21, 547). As the social structure of the Roman Empire crumbled, monasteries organized under the Rule of Benedict emerged as centers of agriculture, lodging, education, literature, art, etc. When Charlemagne established the Holy Roman Empire in the year 800, he relied on monasteries to help weave its social and economic infrastructure – and he promoted the Rule of Benedict as the standard for monastic organization. Against this brief sketch of history, we can begin to observe the relationship between monks and brewing. In ancient days, within the Roman Empire as throughout the world, brewing was typically done in the home. This practice carried into monasteries, which had to provide drink and nourishment for the monks, as well as for guests, pilgrims, and the poor.

  • What Does Your Beer Really Cost?
    WHat DOES YOUR Beer Really COST? Establishing an Effective Beer Costing Program in the Brewpub Your brewpub has been open a few years, you’re making award-winning beers, you’re a centerpiece of the community, and you’re even making a profit. Employees are happy, the bank is happy, investors are happy, and you’ve managed to get your work week down to a manageable 70 hours. Labor expenses are steady and manageable, food cost is at the industry average, and beer cost is “around” 10 percent. That’s good, right? Right? If you don’t have a clear view of the cost of your beer, you may be pouring dollars down the drain (literally). A well-established cost analysis will not only provide valuable data on the real cost of selling your suds, but may also identify areas of opportunity such as purchasing, labor and compensation analysis, and reducing waste. Many different methods exist for calculating beer cost, and in this article I’ll describe the ones I find valuable, in addition to a few I don’t (and why).

  • Efficient Yeast Management
    Efficient Yeast Management Deniz Bilge, VLB Berlin CBC Portland 2015 1 Why is „good“ yeast management necessary? What are the possible consequences of “bad” yeast management? • Decrease in fermentation speed → capacity problems • Differences in the final attenuation degree determined in the lab and the attenuation degree of the final product → economics, product “safety” • Longer maturation times → diacetyl reduction • Slow pH drop → contamination, non-biological stability, filtrability • Beer aroma profile changes → concentration ratio of HA to esters changes in favour of HA • Foam stability decreases • Turbidity problems → “invisible haze” caused by Glycogen excretion • “Autolysis taste” → excretion of e.g. fatty acids • Less formation of reductones → bad flavour stability Deniz Bilge, VLB Berlin CBC Portland 2015 2 Yeast Management Pure Culture Propagation Pitching Yeast- Management Fermentation Cropping Treatment Deniz Bilge, VLB Berlin CBC Portland 2015 3 Ways of Yeast in a Brewery Laboratory culture Propagation Beer Pitching Aeration Wort Pretreatment Main fermentation Post Yeast storage fermentation Sieving Deposits Acidification Yeast Aeration treatment Harvested yeast Beer recovery Excess yeast Beer recovery Waste yeast Deniz Bilge, VLB Berlin CBC Portland 2015 4 YEAST PROPAGATION PRINCIPLES of HANSEN’S propagation 1883 Emil Christian Hansen from Denmark first managed it to propagate yeast cultures.

FRAGA* Following the enactment of Prohibition, it took the United States almost four decades to legalize homebrewing. Subsequently, the nation experienced a booming interest in beer. And not just beer, but good beer. Drinkers found them- selves invested in both quality and variety. This interest has matured into the craft beer industry. Even in holdover states, where state laws prohibited homebrewing far past 1979, the craft beer industry has experienced near exponential growth following the legalization of homebrewing. This has resulted in significant economic implications. Given these consider- ations, nations with restrictive homebrewing laws, like Ja- pan, should consider easing them.
