HOMEBREW HERITAGE

These bottle labels belong to John Raisbeck, They are in  marvellous condition, having been preserved like stamps in a glassine envelope.  They look as fresh as the day they were printed, and John has kindly offered them to the project for our collection.  John worked at the Brewery for a short period in the 80's, and has agreed to sit down with us and record his experiences. The current situation has slowed this side of the project down a little, and while our Oral History recorders are waiting with microphones ready to begin work we need to keep people safe.   I'm going to look for some advice and then hopefully sit down with John in a safe space and record what he has to tell us.   All the best to you all.

This prototype Loyalty card comes from Paul Leviston...Members of the 55 club were rewarded  as they progressed through the card ..  25 got you a pint glass, 40  a tie and the first 5 to fill the card got a Brewery tour, an engraved yard of ale and a certificate.  Paul tells us he drove his pals around on a motorbike in order to fill their cards. Now that's a pal.
