THE STORY BEHIND THE FRONT COVER

In 1856 Hr Ro b e rt Cock, one of the earliest pioneers in t he Mount Gambier area , open e d a Brewery/D istillery in Commer c i a l St. West, Mount Gambi e r . 1 t is i n t erest ing t o n o te t hat Lw ~· o f hi s son s wer e leading member s of t h e t e mp e ran ce mov e me11L at the same time and for many year s aft e rwards .

Coc k leased th e S tandard Brewery t o the ~artn e r s Sharp and Ande rs o n . The Gov.ernmen t Gazette o f 187 3 n otes tha t the par tn er·s hip was b r u ken w hert Sharp re ti red .

The brewery was c arried on by various members o f the Anderson family with the exception o f 1902- 1904 when the Haunt Gambier Brewing co. had a lease . The Adelaide almanacs record Hrs Thomas Anderson as the brewer to 1885, then Walter J (JAS?) took over. Hrs. R. Anderson is record ed as the proprietor f o r a short time from 1895 to 1899 .

J . Moloney of Sloan s continued to br e w unti l

In 1911 the bu s in e s s wa~ s o ld to Brewery in Broken Hil l . J. Mo l o n e y 1914 when the licence was transferred (often E . J . Moloney). According to p e riod, the brewery continued under until 1918/1919 when the firm became Brewing Co.

The firm ceased brewing in 1923 arrangements were made with the Ltd . to supply the beer required .

known as the Moloney

when the brewery closed and South Australian Brewing Co.

F6bruary M66tittg Not6s

As the new bistro section was still not finished, we had to hold the meeting in the new first floor bar area . Very comfortable especialYy after the loud piped music was turned off.

There were a few letters from Czech collectors seeking exchange partners but there were no takers amongst those present.

The Secretary announc ed that Tasmanian Breweries are introducing a new system in that they will, in general , no longer send labels to individual collectors but direct them to j oin a recognized club. Only recognized clubs will receive their labels in future. (VBLCS is listed in the Tasmanian Breweries letter. )

The catalogue of Queensland Brewery labels is coming along well, thanks to helpful information from several members , and the first section should be printe d shortly.

Jack Wilks and other liasion officers are keeping up the good work with mini - breweries and we a re getting supplies of their labels for members.

There was general discussion on kindred society news, new label issues , and changes in the New Zealand brewing scene , then the raffle was drawn and the winners were :-

1. F17 blue A.Richards 2. E85 pink M. Doulton 3. F82 pink K.Deutsher 4 . 86 orange J.Finigan

This was only the second meeting for member Alan Ri chards, so he was very happy. Jim Finigan was absent (in Hospital?) so he will also be There was much more interest in this r affle owing Registered Clubs Association A.G.H. labe l s being in second prizes.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS:-R.G r eenaway, 29 Harbour St. Hosman NSW 2088 .

lt is with some regret that I have to r e p o rt the first closu1 e o f one of the new wave of Pub -Brewerie s. It is the Botanic in North T ~ rrace,

Adelaide. It ceased brewing before Christmas 1987, but the pub is s till operating . I have been to j d un officially that the brew1ng eq uipm·.· ni ha s been sold to a. hote l c hain 1n Victo ria thaL has f a mi l y re s L aur·:nrl . r~ at. their hotels . As far as I kn ow there were only two l ab e l s issued. same desigrr , bu r one lager than the other & self - adhesive.

Our Soc iety has made c ontact wi th other mini-breweries, and l Kb e Js hopefully will be received shortly. I won ' t print the names of the breweries until we receive the labels. l am sure that the large majority ' of our members will understand. because un fortunately we have some maverick members who would rush ir1 and try to get them direc t and delay the clubs efforts . It HAS happened befor e , we will : try and minimise delays . On that note, most of the mi ni-breweri es want HONEY for th~ labels, which of course the club pays, ,giveaways are not common, so t o those members who insist on writing, ~hy not save yourse lf a f e w stamps.

Qverseas Brewery News . The Odin brewery in Viborg, Den~ark is to close on 30th March. It was Denmark ' s oldest brewery .

Congratulations to VBLCS members Brian Griffin and Thompson on their successful launch of Wattle Lager. Peter

Waffle you have to drink?

By H.ll_~CARTER - ~ . IT'S a bit late now, bu: there must be many Melbourne male wh wished he'd been a roo mate of Peter Thompso and Brian Griffin. .'

During the past year friends or the two n · year-olds ha\'e spen many a night testing the pair's own brand ofb~er

And now Peter and Brian have come u . with what the)· claim a ·real bottler. ,

The pair han named' the malty end resul~ Wattle Lager because they wanted somethinr very Australian. ··

The "boutique beer" la the first product of the · Kiewa Brewing Co. which they claim is vr torla's only lndependen brewery. •.

Kiewa Is Aborigl : for c:lear or sweet water:

Wattle Lager Is mad_ with Victorian Alpine. water and contains ni chlorine or fluoride.

Brian said yestenillY·· "It's an up-market lager; which Is an Australian alternative to importee\· beers. · :

''It's only In 3i5 ml bot· ties because It's not the. sort of beer to be con: sumed at Bay 13. ·t

"It Is designed to be '., had with meals and goes ; well with chicken, sea· rood or lightly nnore( food." ·:

Peter said that with an alcohol level of 4.5 per . cent, Wattle Lager was. down a bit on commer-· cial beers, was lighter In, na,·or, clearer, and had a· malt taste. )

Peter does all the brewing and packaging at a small Bayswater, North factory, while Brian distributes the product they hope wiU take the Australian beer market by storm. :

About 65 licensed ' rrocers, hotels and res­taurants in the Mel·~ bourne and metropoll·~ tan area han tried Ui~ lager since it hit the market four weeks ago:

The company plans to Introduce Wattle Lage( to Sydney, Brisbane and, eventually, o'•erseas. ~

Brian said: "We've had) rood respons~ and suP;; port from Mrlbourn~· liquor outlets." 1

The following information from Bond Brewing Qld., has been s e11t in by member Scotty HacKenzie :-The larger letters of the alphabet now appearing on the label s constitute a batch coding system. The SHS on labels stand for Simpson Halligan Sands, t he label s uppliers. The batch system operates by progressively working through t he alphabet. Therefore there will be a continual change in these letters in the market place.

BALi.ARAT:·i BERTIE~S TRAVELS .: .. . :.~ .. . ...

. . ' •'

SINCE . we last had th~ .: pleasure ·· of'i:inrestrictt;o' . advertising, Ballarat Bertie, ' the p(>pulu little', '

f1gure on our labels, has ' visited many lands and met many new friends; we have . even been pre­sented with his photograph amongst the penguins

. on ~n A_ntiJr,tic iceberg, . . An~t~er . treasured pos- . sess1on _1s . a label from . the .first ; beer ' issued -:-.in; Tobruk, but the gem of the -collection Is a · full bottle brought bz.c:k from Benghazi by an em­ployee In the A.I.F. "to show how well it carries"! · Everywhere "Bertie" has proved a Prince of Good Fellows, true to · the promise we made to main-· tain the good !luality of our beers.

Frankly: we have learned a lot during ' tne hectic .. years of war and so has the public; we have le~rned that the dignity Nld good taste we ' have. tned to. preserve in all our sayings and doings? has been appreciated: and the public has learned that good, wholesome beer is a drink worth a ' lonQ wait in a queue. The public has also learned ' that our Licensing Laws are a long way behind those of other countries and we hope somebody will do scmething about'. it because we own 91 : QOOd hotels which close their doors when the' public is at le•sure and open them again when a lot of sensible people are a t work. As for the. Prohibi tion Poll every 'eight years-words fail us ! .. It is just too silly, and not quite fair because the compensation provided by the Act has been :· spent on other things.

We:, have le~rned a lot ~.bout hotel-owning~. too. but we'll have to tell you about that later ·;. • . . .. }

The Russian brewing industry is the fourth largest in the world wilh some 1,000 breweries pro­ducing a staggering T2 million hectos per annum - but still unable to meet demand in a country where beer drinking is increasing rapidly; indeed some 80 new breweries have been huilr in receJZt years.

Zhiguli is rlze most popular brand and originated near the rown of Kuybyshev on the River Volga, close ro the Zhiguli hills.
