Starrick Brewing Company

The Starrick Brewing Company was a subsidiary of Starrick Industries that operated in London, England during the Industrial Revolution. Owned by Grand Master of the British Rite of the Templar Order Crawford Starrick, it also served as a front-company for Templar interests.
==History==
In 1868, the company was responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of Starrick's Soothing Syrup, a concoction that masqueraded as medicine but contained both datura stramonium and opium,Assassin's Creed: Syndicate – Database: Starrick's Soothing Syrup under the control of Doctor John Elliotson.Assassin's Creed: Syndicate – On the Origin of Syrup After protecting a woman for speaking out about the syrup's effects, British Assassin Jacob Frye started investigating the drug, tracking down its distributors,Assassin's Creed: Syndicate – A Spoonful of Syrup and eventually arriving at a distillery, where, along with the concerned scientist Charles Darwin, he discovered the drug's components and ingredients. The pair decided to sabotage the distillery tank by tampering with the pressure valves, causing the building to be filled with toxic gas.Assassin's Creed: Syndicate – Unnatural Selection The subsequent explosion dealt a heavy blow to the production of the syrup, with Jacob's assassination of Elliotson at Lambeth Asylum ending it permanently.Assassin's Creed: Syndicate – Overdose
In 2015, historian Shaun Hastings noted that no samples remained of the syrup, saying that "whatever wasn't destroyed was almost definitely consumed". He also commented that no advertisements or articles about the tonic exist before 1868, and hardly any exist after that year.
