The Brewer (after Jost Amman) |
The breweries produced a lot of beer. In 1513, the admiral, Thomas Lord Howard wrote... The brewhouses here (in Portsmouth) are the goodliest he ever saw, and already brew 100 tun a day (about 100,000 litres). As there is no place to store it but the streets, where the hot weather would destroy it, he has commanded Wm. Pawne to have great trenches digged and covered with boards, turf and sedges.
