FREMLIN BROTHERS : X MILD ALE 1875
How Do All ,
named Robert Heythorne / Heathorn , the date at which the building first appears in local
Tax records .
The Fremlin family`s involvement with the Bullock Lane site , by 1861 re named Earl Street
Began shortly after Noon on Wednesday 21 St August 1861 when Ralph J Fremlin (1833 - 1910)
Bought the brewery and associated properties ; And within ten years the endeavour proved
So successfull that Ralph Fremlin had taken three brothers into partnership ; Richard Henry,
Walter Thomas and Frank into the business ; being listed in local business direcories from
1871 onwards as " Fremlin Brothers " , and by the late 1880`s were producing their own
Lager and Pilsener .
The Fremlin Brothers partnership was transformed into a Limited Company after the difficult trading period of the Great War In 1920 , with the board of directors comprising Walter and Frank Fremlin, Henry Hills and A L Brown ; being joined after the death of Walter Fremlin in 1925 by the grandson of Ralph Fremlin and the Head Brewer, Mr G T Cook ( See Strout`s Brewery Posts ) .
The Earl Street concern continued to brew independently at Maidstone until 1967 when the
London firm of Whitbread & Co bought the rest of the share capital not purchased in 1960,
When the Whitbread umbrella unfurlled over the Elephant of Earl St ;
With beer production at the site ceasing in September 1972 ; With that sad event , production of
Fremlin`s beers was transferred to the former George Beer & Rigden Brewery in Faversham ,
Purchased by Fremlins in 1949.
I`m endebted for the information on the brewery to Peter Moynihan , Author of the inestimable
Compendium of Kentish beer history , " Kentish Brewers And The Brewers of Kent " ,
