Beer for South Wales and West Country bottlers was sent out in Road Rail tankers. There was also a Park Royal Newcastle working three times a week. Not sure how accurate that is as that's from a railway source, but beer sources say north of the Mersey and Humber was supplied from Dublin. <br />Doubt many will read this as I,m commenting on an old post but a topic combining railways and Guinness, my two favourite subject can,t be missed.Mike Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-70187238446036218962016-01-06T01:38:09.001-08:002016-01-06T01:38:09.001-08:00Anonymous,

I'm sure it's a tangled story involving casks, tied houses, regional tastes, and all the rest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-27362603335509188092016-01-02T00:44:50.092-08:002016-01-02T00:44:50.092-08:00Wasn't it the start of the Anglo-Irish trade w...Wasn't it the start of the Anglo-Irish trade war in 1932, after the election of Eamon de Valera's Fianna Fail government, which prompted Guinness to build their Park Royal Brewery in London rather than the creation of the Irish Free State ten years before?Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09310220100267028274noreply@blogger.com
