Comments on: History of Beer Part 2: 1516 - 1898 AD http://www.mybeerpix.com/history-of-beer-part-2-1516-1898-ad/ A visual tribute to beer and the people who love it Thu, 28 Aug 2008 19:19:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.1 By: Stonch's Beer Blog http://www.mybeerpix.com/history-of-beer-part-2-1516-1898-ad/#comment-72 Stonch's Beer Blog Mon, 18 Jun 2007 20:13:35 +0000 http://www.mybeerpix.com/history-of-beer-part-2-1516-1898-ad/#comment-72 Eek. About half of the stuff on that guy's history are completely incorrect. :shock: You've pointed out a couple of inaccuracies above, but here are a couple more: "AD 1581: Young's Brewery started brewing in England." No, it started doing so in Victorian times. We're pretty sure there was a brewery in Wandsworth from that time but that was centuries before Young's & Co came along. "AD 1759: Guinness evolved from a porter to a stout in Dublin." Guinness didn't start using the word "stout" until 1840. :sad: Eek.

YOU (now ME): “Yes. And it's pronounced NO-well, not No-WELL.” (this next part is under my breath) "F'ing n00b." Yeah, more like:
