AND BITTER ALE.
This fine-flavoured and much-esteemed ALE, so largely in

mas 1853 and 1854, is again in fine condition for Christmas 1855;
in Casks of 9, 18, and 36 Gallons—strong or mild.

or to the Liverpool Stores, Walmer-Ituildings, Water-street, and
Rumford-street, near the Exchange, Liverpool.

Dr. Brett's Opinion of Aspinall's Preston Pans Beer, Mild Pale
Ale, and East India Pale Ale, brewed at the Anchor Brewery,
Birkenhead.
"Laboratory, Royal Infirmary, Liverpool, Dec., 1852.
"I bare, at the request of Mr. H. K. Aspinall, of the Anchor
Brewery, Birkenhead, submitted to a careful chemical examina-
tion three descriptions of Beer, called respectively Preston Pans
Beer, Mild Pale Ale, and East India Pale Ale. lam decidedly of
opinion that they are very wholesome beverages, and contain no
other ingredients than those found in pure inalt liquors. They
have been very well fermented, and consequently do not contain
any amount of unfermented sugar, frequently found in some
descriptions of Ale ; and being also free from any excess of mucila-
ginous matters capable of acting as ferments, they are remarkably
bright, and retain that brightness to the last. Several medical
fiends of mine have expressed a very favourable opinion as re-
gards their quality. "R. H. BRETT, Ph. D., F.LS.,
"And Lecturer on Chemistry and Medical Jurisprudence."

" Liverpool, Dec. 12th, 1854.
" Dear Sir,—Having undertaken, at your request, a research
upon your different Beers, videlicit—East India Pale Ale, Mild
Pale Ale, India Pale Ale, Preston Pans Beer, I feel happy in for-
warding you the annexed results. The sifting nature of the
chemical examination to which your Malt Liquors have been
subjected, establishes their incontestible purity; they do not
contain a particle of any injurious substance. I must confess I
was not a little surprised to find that such excellent Beers were
brewed in the vicinity of Liverpool. It proves in a most satis-
factory manner that you have exercised much care in the selection
of the best kind of Hops and Malt, and that you possess great
scientific skill in conducting the several important staTes through
which these have to pass. I was very much struck with the
India Pale Ale, twelve months old. It is extremely bright,
sparkling, and refreshing, and must act as an excellent tonic,
and, I am sure, will be relished by all those seeking an agreeable
and beneficial anodyne bitter, which tends to preserve the vigour
of the stomach. and conduces, oftentimes, 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 welt
fermented, and made from the best and most wholesome in-
gredients, therefore are sure to command popularity. In con.
eluding, 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.—l am, Sir, yours resctfully,
" SHERIDAN MpeUSPRATT. 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 Hotelkeepers 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 ‘t 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 an 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 draught is giving every
satisfaction, continuing quite sound and brisk, though it has 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 1 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 for a couple
of weeks before I begin to use it.
"Mr. H. K. Aspinall, Birkenhead,"
