Opis

This title was first published in 2000:  This volume tells the fascinating story of the origins, development, growth and survival of a small country brewery in Hampshire. Employing and analyzing a wealth of original documentation, it examines the local environment both before establishment of the brewery and during the 150 years of its existence.

Recenzje

'..a firm that is as attractive to the business historian as its beer doubtless is to its customers.' Business History '...a serious and sustained academic study in a field where good histories of firms are rare. That it records in detail the history of a small county brewery - of which there were hundreds in the late-nineteenth century - and one which remarkably still exists is especially valuable.' The Agricultural History Review
