December Meeting Notes

We had expected to be able to hold this meeting in the new bistro section, but as the alterations are extensive , this section was n ot ready fo r occupation . In addition , the saloon bar was closed due to rebuilding i n that section. Fortunately the first flo o r bar area was • u~ ailab l e tu u s a nd we had p lenty of room . /

u ur last meeting for the year· was well attended and we were pleased t o w~Lcome n e w member Allan Richards, Ueelong member Wayne Richardson, visitor Bob Hiles, and member Dave Kruger brought his wife Kathy, for t h e f i. r st t ime to jo in Phyl Uodden and Ingrid Barker .

On t he mi n i-bre we ry f ron t , Danny O' Neil brough t a range of l abels fr o m the Geelong Brewing Company , and Jac k Wilks handed over labels from Sc ha r e rs Brewery, the Kiewa Bre wing Company and the Sovereign Bre wery. The p o lic y of having t he above two me mbers as the only c lub contact with those brewerie s has proved s uc c essful and we hope this r est raint by members will continue .

Keit h Deutsher has just returned from a holid ay in Tonga where a new brewery has just opened. Keith was invited to the opening, but unfortunately had t o return before this event . However , Keith was able to obtain the labels from the Royal Be e r Company and in enough quantity for al l me mb e rs . These will b e distributed with the Ha r c h Newsletter.

Kerry Walt on sent along a coaster s howing a label des ign to be issued s hort ly by t he Colonial Brewing Co. Members thought the design most attrac tive .

AHICI DELLA BIRRA has proposed a mutu al exc hange of mag a zine s and thi s wil l be don e. A file o f their magazin e s will b e made avai lable at eac h meeting for perusal by me mbers.

This meeting seemed noisier and mo re convivial than previous, pobab l y becaus e we were comp e ting with the noise of the builders and the quantity of beer con sumed . ( editors note : mo re and more members are wait ing at t he doors of the pub at n oon a nd get a flying s tart at the good range of b eers on tap . )

JOLLY GOOD ALE AND OLD

·rhe History Of Coopers Brewery 1862 - 1987. by Alison Painter . This book is a definitive account of the Coopers Brewery, and begins with the birth of Thomas Cooper in Skipton, 1n the West Riding of Yorkshire , England in 1826, his migration with his wife Ann to South Australia in 1852 where he be~an his trade of shoe-making.

Thoma s began brewing in 1862, it is not certain why he began. but it is l11? liev ed that he brewed beer as a toni c for his wife . Hl.s 1-11f e Ann. who was an i nnkeepers daughter, was the one who kff8w ::; u nt e t: h i. n g abo u t b r e w i n ~ and T hom as u sed he r r e c i p e .

MELBOURNE BREWING & HALTING COHPANY LIMITED 1881 - 1888

The Carlton Brewery was the forerunner Breweries. The brewery was established in over premises in Bouverie Street, formerly

of the Carlton & United 1864 when John Bellman took the North Melbo urne Brewery

conducted by Rosenberg & Co.

~ LRCA 1885

since 1858 . Bellman changed the name to the Carlton. Brewery and in 1865 sold the partnerspip to Edward Latham and G . E.Hilne. Edward Latham is regarded as the founder of the Carlton Brewery due to hi s success in establishing the brewery on a sound and progressive basis. In 1881 the Melb ou rne Brewing and Halting company Limited was formed to take over the business of the Carlton Brewery . Latham retained a large interest and continued a~ managi_ng director until hi s retirement in 1884 . ln 1888, the Helbotirne Brewing & Halting Co. Ltd . amalgamated with the West End Breweries Ltd of Albert Terry to form the Carlton & West End Breweries Limited . This n e w company was affected by the financial cr isis of the 1890·s and went into liquidation in 1895. Reconstruction o f t he c ompany resulted in the formation of the Carlton Brewery Limited, registered Harch 5th 1896. And so, for the second time, the Car lton Brewery was b o rn.
