Gales

"This volume tells the story of the origins, development, growth and survival of a small country brewery in Hampshire. Employing and analysing a wealth of original documentation, it examines the local environment both before the establishment of the brewery and during the 150 years of its existence. While the performance of Gales Brewery is examined in the context of the British brewing industry as a whole, the thread of family involvement is woven throughout the volume. The contribution of contrasting individual entrepreneurs is discussed in detail, from the half century of domination by George Alexander Gale to the subsequent century of contribution by the Bowyer family." "This book will be of interest to business, economic, family and local historians."--BOOK JACKET.
