Description: Withnail and I is a 1987 British black comedy film written and directed by Bruce Robinson. Loosely based on Robinson's life in London in the late 1960s, the plot follows two unemployed actors, Withnail and "I" (portrayed by Richard E. Grant and Paul McGann, respectively) who share a flat in Camden Town in 1969. Needing a holiday, they obtain the key to a country cottage in the Lake District belonging to Withnail's eccentric uncle Monty and drive there. The weekend holiday proves less recuperative than they expected.
Description: Sergeant & Co took over the Bridge St. brewery from Saville. Antonie Middlemoor Sergeant came to Brigg from nearby Melton Ross in 1834 or 35. He was born in Camberwell and started the business in partnership with his brother, Edward. In 1840 the dwelling house and brewery, Bridge St. was to let by Mr A Sergeant; the brewery was the only one in town and Sergeant continued to run it. In 1851 A M. Sergeant was aged 42 and employed 5 men and 1 boy. A year later he erected extensive brewery buildings on the west side of the old river behind the White Hart. The water came from springs at Castlethorpe, to the west of Brigg, a mile from the river. Ale cost from 10d to 1s 6d, porter from 1s to 1s 6d and bitter 1s 4d per gallon.
Description: Detroit native Louis Griesinger apprenticed at the Christian Moerlein Brewing Company in Cincinnati and soon found that he not only had a knack for making beer, but genuinely enjoyed it. Wanting to strike out on his own, Griesinger relocated to Windsor, Ontario in 1885 where he founded the British-American Brewing Co., one of the city's earliest breweries. His first completed batch was a pale lager, but as cream ales were becoming popular at the time, he called his lager 'Cincinnati Cream.' His first six barrels were well received, and before long, Cincinnati Cream was a local favorite. Griesinger was soon exporting to America, and expanded his brewery to encompass four city blocks producing 5,000,000 gallons annually by the mid-'50.
Description: Worthington's White Shield (5.6% ABV) was an India pale ale (IPA) available principally in bottle conditioned form. White Shield was first brewed by the Worthington Brewery in Burton upon Trent in 1829, primarily for export to the British Empire. Worthington merged with local rival Bass in 1927, which was itself taken over by Coors in 2002. White Shield won the CAMRA Champion Bottled Beer of Britain Gold award three times, more than any other beer. MolsonCoors announced that production of the beer would end in August 2023.
