MARK BINNIE & Co : 140 / - ALE 1904

 How Do All , 

Here`s a Scottish Strong Ale recipe for you all to try from the brewery of Mark Binnie & Co .          Mark Binnie learned his trade at the Edinburgh brewery of Morison & Thomson , before moving to County Durham where he was employed by C F & M Forster , returning to Edinburgh in 1881 when he began building the Nungate Brewery ( Brewing by 1882 ).                                                                          
The brewery continued under the ownership of Mark Binnie until his decease in 1924 , when the business was inherited by William Binnie , continuing until 1937 when it was bought by it`s larger local rivals , William Younger & Co .
