"I have, at the request of Mr. H. K. Aspinall, of the-anchor -
Brewery, Birkenhead, submitted to a careful chemical exa•mitit--
tion three descriptions of Beer, called iespectivily:Pristoii Pans
Beer, Mild Pale Ale, and'Eititt India,Pale Ale; -1 am decidedly of
opinion that they are very whole.sorae.lieverages, and contain no
other ingredients than those foutidlii pure malt liquors. They
have been very well fermented, arid consequently do not contain
any amount of unfermented sugar, frequently found in some
descriptions of Ale • ancrbeing also free from any excess of miicila:
ginous matters, cariiiblb of actingas ferments, they are remarkably
bright, and retain thill brightness to the,last. Several medical •
friends of mine have expressed a very favourable opinion as re;.
gards their quality. • - it: BR TT, Ph. D., F.LS.,

Pans Beer.
" Liverpoo.l,llec. 12th, 1854.
" Dear Sir,—Having undertaken,' at YOur4elinest, a reseirch
upon your different' Beers, Tale Ale, Mild
Pale Ale, India Pale Ale,PrestonTans Beer, I feel happy in for-
warding -you the annexed resultti. The sifting, nature of the
cheniical examination to which your Malt_r:Ltqudrs have been
subjected, establishes their incontestible.purity; they do not
contaiwa particle or any injurious substance. I must confess I
was not it little surprised to find that ,aneh excellent Beers were
brewed in the vicinity of Liverpool. IC proves in a most satis-
factory manner that you have exercised much care in the selection
of the beat kind of Hops and Malt, and that you possess great
scientific skill in conduct ingtht several impoitant stages through' -
which these have to pass. I was very much struc with toe :
India Pale Ale, twelve months old. It is extremely bile;
sparkling, and refreshing, and must act as an excellent ic;
and, I non sure, will be relished by, At those seeking an agreeable
and beneficial anodyne bitter, which. da,to preserve the vigour
of the stomach. and conduces, often% dies, to the restoration of
the health of that organ,_ when debilitated. Your Preston Pans
Beer is a very nice light beverage, having a peculiar but fine
flavour, which must be greatly relished by many families. The
East India Pale Ale and the Mild Pale Ale are like the above well
fermented, and made from the best and most wholesome in-
gredients, therefore are sure to command popularity. In con-
cluding, I am glad to tell you that, having now tasted your Ales,
I shall in future use them in my house, as they are fully equal to
any I have analysed.-1 am, Sir, yours respectfttlly,
" SHE.II.IDAN MUSPRATT, F.R.S.,
" Mr. Henry K. Aspinall. " Professor of Chemistry."
The demand for this fine-flavoured.-ALE is greatly on the in-
crease, Merchants, Bottlers, and Hotullteepers finding it equal in
flavour, colour, and quality to the finest Burton-brewed Ales, and
at Prices very considerably less than any'similar Ale now on the
market. It is warranted to keep sound in ood or Bottle for
years, and never changes its brilliancy of colour. It improves by
long keeping. Hogsheads, Barrels, Half-barrels, and Quarter-
barrels always on Stock, for Home Use and Exportation.

The following is a testimonial of a gentleman at Frodsham, in
Cheshire, accompanying au order for a further supply of Preston
Pans Table Beer:—

" Frodsham, Cheshire, March 31, 1851.
"Sir,—Please to send me another quarter-barrel of Preston
Pans Beer, directing it, as before, per B. L., and C. Railway, to
Frodsham.
"The barrel which I have now on (fraught is givinc, every
satisfaction, continuing quite sound and brisk, though it hass now
been more than six weeks on draught. I use a vent-peg, which
closes of itself, with a spring, so that the beer cannot be left ex-
posed to the air through the carelessness of servants.
" I suppose you do not require that empty caske should always
be returned literally within three months, for this I could not
always do, as a quarter-barrel generally lasts from eight to ten
weeks on draught, and I like to have it on the stillion fora couple
of weeks before I begin to use it.
" Mr. H. K. Aspinall, Birkenhead."
