Star of December 3, 1859:
"a REMARKABLY FINE ALE.-Mr. Davison's
successor in the Washington Brewery, corner OF
X and 9th streets, Mr.. Colincau, is now manufac-
turing Xxx ale and porter and brown stout, all of
which reflect infinite credit on his establishment.
His ale compares favorably indeed, with the best
Philadelphia and Albany ales, being, according
to our taste, much more like the best English and
Scotch ales than those imported from either of
those cities. If he continues to produce so supc-
rior IN article, he will shortly make reputation
for his brewery surprising that of any Northern
establishment"
