Pedantry time!
You have four Dublin breweries listed for 1920. Or is Guinness's so big as to be invisible?
Also, while Bray is closer to central Dublin than Skerries, it's in Wicklow rather than Co. Dublin.
Beer Nut, simple maths has let me down again.
I'm not great on Irish counties. My son Andrew stopped in Bray on a recent school trip to Dublin. Could be why I assumed it was in county Dublin.
Thanks for the corrections.
Easy mistake to make. Bray uses Dublin area phone codes and is served by Dublin's suburban trains and buses. But you don't tell Bray people they're basically Dubs.
I've found a bottle in the garden which has on it Paatrick Keily and sons Ltd waterford Brewers. It appears to be old, it's green and made in a mould I would think.
