Plenty of people imagine this on pub
lic-house signs to signify a monopoly
of supply from one brewery, but it is
really the old name of what is called
porter" The following history of it's
origin may be acceptable:
1T appears that in the early days of
the last century the lovers of malt
liquors in London We're accustomed to
regale themselves upon three classes
Of those beverages; they had ale, beer
and twopenny. Many. who preferred
a more subtle combination of flavors
than either of these liquors alone could
impart, would ask for half-and- half
that is, half of ale and half of beer, half
of ale and half of twopenny, or half of
beer and half of twopenny Others
again--and these were the real con-
nolsseurs of malt liquors would call
for pot of three threads or three
thirds. e., one-third of ale, one-third
OF beer and one-third of twopenny. The
drawer would therefore have to go to
three distinct casks, and through three
distinct operations. before he could
draw pint OF liquor. But the hour had
come-and the man. One Ralph Har-
wood, whose name is too little known
to an ungrateful posterity of beer
drinking Britons, some time about the
year 1870 kept a brewhouse on the east
side of High street, Shoreditch. In that
year. or perhaps little earlier, as this
great man brooded over the inconveni-
ence and waste occasioned by the calls
for the 'three-threads,' which became
more and more frequent, he conceived
the idea of making a liquor which would
combine in itself the several virtues of
ale, beer and twopenny. He carried the
idea into action, and brewed a drink
which he called Entire or Entire
Butts. It was tasted; 1t was approved
it became the fruitful parent of a
mighty offspring, and from that day to
this has gone on increasing in name
