I surprised to discover that there was no customs union between England and Scotland until the 1830s or later - it seems to have been a by-product of the arrival of the railways.History Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05957731800013301004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-91978525681318030242011-10-11T07:32:42.801-07:002011-10-11T07:32:42.801-07:00I'm guessing we'll be renaming the month t...I'm guessing we'll be renaming the month to "Scotchtober".<br /><br />Anyways, after graphing the data (I like pictures, words and numbers are just too complicated) I find it very interesting that after a steady climb, beer fell off sharply (1811-1812), with Porter following closely behind (1813-1814). After that, ale makes up nearly the entirety of exports peaking in 1818 then beginning to fall off shortly thereafter.<br /><br />Pretty graph here:<br />http://tanukibrau.blogspot.com/2011/10/graph-from-ron-pattinsons-scottish-beer.html<br /><br />I reluctantly started a blog simply to post the pretty picture.
