How Do All ,
As some of the more keen blog readers will note ,
I`ve finally been able get into Overdrive in the drivetrain of Beer history research ;
Notwithstanding the knackered selector forks and clapped out thrust bearings of false conclusions ;
Which occur with annoying irregularity in terms of the overview of Brewery X`s products,
From an initial look at the records .
Whilst I`d love to visit the archives listed below in person ,
I thought some of the American readers of this blog might like to know which archives
I`ve managed to trace in in the U S A which have publicly accessible brewing production & allied
Records in their collections ; If readers know of others , Please let me know .

Sadly I`ve not seen any of the items from the WSU Collections .........Yet ! ;
From the catalogue descriptions , there`s plenty of interesting books and ledgers to examine
To gain a basic idea of the contents .
What I `d love to do , would be to complete a number of research projects on Pre Prohibition
U S Brewing , Beers and Breweries in a similar vein to my work as exampled below ;
Scotland :
G & J MacLachlan Ltd , Castle Brewery , Edinburgh
Robert Whitson & Co , Yard Heads , Leith
Edinburgh United Breweries , Bell`s Brewery , Edinburgh
J & R Tennent , Glasgow
England :
Frederick Bailey & Co , Star Brewery , Cambridge
Morgan Brothers , Old Brewery , Norwich
Henry Bentley & Co , Eshaldwell Brewery , Woodlesford , Nr Leeds
Lichfield Brewery Co Ltd , Lichfield
If you`d be interested in a collaborative research project ,
Please get in touch with me @ beerhistorybloke@gmail.com
What can a Researcher or even the depository of cerevesian knowledge expect in return ? ;
Credits for assistance ,
Citing the depository & catalogue numbers etc in both internet article & other writings Etc .
Cheers All 🍻
