The Griffin Brewery

The Basketmakers Livery Committee organised a tour of the Griffin Brewery on the 5th April which in the interest of research your scribe decided to attend. The visit was limited to 30 people and the whole process of brewing was demonstrated. They brew one million pints of beer a week. Volunteers (bravely led by PW Raymond Graham as shown) were able to sample the range of fine ales. The visit concluded with luncheon at the adjoining Mawson Arms. Delighted to report our Clerk was able to organise 'a very successful event' in a brewery!
