WO hundred years ago WHITBREAD'S DOUBLE BROWN ALE was known in every town and hamlet in England.
"Furrin drinks were locked on with suspicion," but good English ale never did any man harm, and it was such sentiments as these that inspired the poet who wrote the following:
Lith and listen, lyrical lads,
Lith and listen to me!
I will have no Sherris Sack,
Nor yet no Malvoisie;
I will have the right BROWN ALE
That Myrin and Lillywhite bowled on
I will have a gallon of ale,
Jolly good ale and olden
