Pickled Egg Quiz

The only one I'm sure of is number 7 Cockermouth.

In the late 70's they supplied the Duke of Wellington in High Bridge Newcastle with hand pulled Mild and Bitter.

Spoiler: show

Jennings

[NewcastleFalcon]

The other two I could take an educated guess at could be

Blandford Forum Dorset

Spoiler: show

Elleridge Pope I seem to remember Thomas Hardy Ale was a very stong ale which came in small bottles.

Southwold

Spoiler: show

Adnams perhaps

Following Neil's request for something to do I thought I'd put together a little quiz following the brewing theme. It occurred to me that it would be very easy to look up the answers of which breweries were to be found in the places I list so (mainly due to the date of my reference work ) I decided to list ten places and all you have to do is tell me the brewery that was there in 1973, the year of my marriage!!

1, Southwold Suffolk

2, Brierley Hill Staffordshire

3, Halstead Essex

4, Salisbury Wiltshire

5, Blandford Forum Dorset

6, Stamford Lincolnshire

7, Cockermouth Cumberland

8, Pontyclun Glamorganshire

9, Lancaster Lancashire

10, Kimberley Nottinghamshire

There are some alternatives for some of the places but any of them is acceptable providing I have it listed in my pretty comprehensive reference!!

The first correct answer will be awarded up to 100 points based on 5 points per question and 50 bonus for being first and any subsequent correct entry up to 50 points for effort based on 5 points per question !! Have fun

Nice Quiz Mick....Here's my pictoral entry for the 10.

Spoiler: show

1, Southwold Suffolk Adnams
2, Brierley Hill Staffordshire Daniel Bafham and Son
3, Halstead Essex GE Cook and Sons
4, Salisbury Wiltshire Gibbs Mew and Co.
5, Blandford Forum Dorset Hall and Woodhouse
6, Stamford Lincolnshire Melbourne Bros.

Thanks Mick I did, Salisbury proved the most difficult, but the nature of the quiz did involve a delve which I enjoy.

http://breweryhistory.com/wiki/ was an excellent resource with a fair crop of pics
