‘In 1889 Alfred Barnard published the first volume of a remarkable work, The Noted Breweries of Great Britain and Ireland. It took the form of a series of reports on visits to breweries. Barnard's primary focus was on the brewery as a production unit rather than as the vertically integrated retailers into which brewing companies were slowly evolve... he gives detailed accounts of the premises, plant and product range of a wide range of breweries close to the height of the late Victorian brewery boom. Noted Breweries is unique as a historical source for these aspects of the brewing industry.’
