Continuing my historic breweries trek, this is what remains of the Union Brewing Co. which was active from 1893 to 1911, located in the Boston neighborhood of Roxbury. Today it houses offices.
Bokeh-brew = the feeling of importance to insert bokeh into a tea cup image just because I don't know how to make it more interesting. I am a coffee drinker and I don't function without a cup of coffee in the morning. But once in a while I also like to drink green tea and after tasting so many different types of green tea, I've settled for Tazo ginger green tea. Its taste kinda remind me of a herbal drink back home. :)

I've been trying a looser style of watercolour recently so bear with me while I try and figure it out. Its a bit of an adventure painting directly in paint and using my pens less and less.

This site on Milton Road has been connected to the industries of distilling and brewing for over 130 years. During this period, many changes in the brewing process have occurred but the brewery has remained as an integral and highly visible part of the suburb. The business and location have become firmly linked to perceptions of the city’s and state’s identity and are strongly associated with the suburb of Milton.
In 1870, the ‘Queensland Distillery’ was established on high land in the inner city Brisbane suburb of Milton. Built by W. Samwell, this early venture was hampered by failures in sugar crops in the early 1870s. This forced Samwell to take on a partner, James Hardy Medhurst. However this partnership was short-lived, and Robert Forsyth bought Samwell out. In 1872, Forsyth bought out the entire operation and renamed the site Forsyth’s Distillery, producing rum and acting as an agent for the sale of wine. The distillery was not a success, and in September 1877 the business and surrounding land were bought by Fitzgerald Quinlan and Co, with the intention of building a brewery.
While the Quinlan family were involved in business as shipping agents, the Fitzgerald partnership consisted of two brothers with a background in brewing. Nicholas and Edward were the sons of Francis Fitzgerald, a well-known Irish brewer. After arriving in Australia in the 1850s, they established the Castlemaine Brewery in Castlemaine, Victoria. Their venture had been a success, and they had decided to extend their activities to Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Adelaide, Perth and Brisbane.
Brewed to the same formula as in southern states, the first product from the new Milton Brewery was produced in September 1878, entitled ‘Castlemaine XXX Sparkling Ale’. Since medieval times when brewing was confined mainly to monasteries, X (the sign of the cross) had been a standard symbol of purity for alcoholic beverages, being used to indicate the potency of ales and wines. By 1887, it was decided to form a limited liability company called the Castlemaine Brewery and Quinlan Gray and Company Brisbane.
In 1916, ‘Castlemaine XXXX Sparkling Ale’ was first produced, with quality improved by adopting the Continental method. By 1920, the Directors decided that a new beer should be brewed with the Queensland palate in mind and a new German brewer, Mr Bill Leitner, decided that a lighter, German style lager would be more acceptable to the Queensland drinker.
In February 1924, Castlemaine first introduced their XXXX Bitter Ale, a product that is still sold today. Later that same year, the ‘Mr Fourex’ character first appeared in advertising. According to the family of Ian Gall, the Courier Mail cartoonist created ‘Mr Fourex’ in the early 1920s, possibly styling him on Paddy Fitzgerald, General Manager of the Castlemaine Perkins Brewery during the 1920s. It was also during 1924 that bottle labels first appeared featuring an illustration of the brewery buildings facing Milton Road.
In 1928, negotiations were completed with Perkins and Company Ltd. for the purchase of the company’s Brisbane and Toowoomba breweries. The deal also included the purchase of a number of freehold and leasehold hotels. Perkins and company had a history almost as old as the Castlemaine Brewery partnership. Formed in 1881, they had been one of the most prosperous breweries in Queensland but had encountered difficult business conditions due to fierce competition from Castlemaine. Perkins attempted to regain a place in the market by producing a XXXXX beer, but this hastened their demise. By October 1928, the merger was complete and the company became Castlemaine Perkins Ltd.
The company continued to expand and develop, and, in 1940, it was announced a new administration building and brewing tower were to be constructed. Construction began in April 1941 but was halted in December due to Japan’s entry into the war. Even after 1945, material shortages resulted in the administration building and brewing tower being not totally completed until 1951. However, 1946 aerial photographs of the site clearly show the brewing tower and surrounding building was externally complete. This is supported by the fact that the earliest brewing kettle in the building is thought to date from 1945.
The main administration building and brewing tower represent the first stage of a development period in which the brewery began to dominate the local townscape. Substantially built during the 1940s, the building is in the Interwar Functionalist Style as influenced by a branch of the Modernist movement. Typical Functionalist characteristics of the building include its asymmetrical massing, use of glass bricks and the Art Deco lettering inscribed on the tower.
Architects Addison and Macdonald who called for tenders in April 1941 designed the main building and brewing tower. Builder, K.D. Morris, was awarded the contract. Addison and Macdonald specialised in buildings for Castlemaine Perkins and the Queensland Brewing Company, designing hotels and brewery buildings throughout the 1930s period. By the time the partnership was dissolved in 1947, the firm had both major breweries, Castlemaine and Queensland, as their clients.
Other examples of buildings in the Inter-war Functionalist style include the Credit Union Australia Building, built between 1940 and 1942 for the Queensland Brewery Company. The building contained administrative offices as well as areas dedicated to cellaring, cooperage, storage, goods handling and loading. This building, now entered on the Queensland Heritage Register, was also designed by H.S. Macdonald of Addison and McDonald, who played a significant role in the introduction of the Functionalist style to Queensland. George Frederick Addison was the son of prominent architect, George Henry Male Addison. He designed the Marist Brothers monastery at Rosalie in 1928 as his first project with professional business partner, G.F. Macdonald.
Workshops, stores and cold cellars were also constructed in the period 1951-53. These additional structures facing Milton Road incorporate similar elements to the main building but are more austere. As a result of the extensions on either side of the main building along Milton Road during the 1950s and after, an almost continuous brick façade now dominates the streetscape.
The 1945 copper kettle, other kettles and equipment from the 1950s to 1970s have been kept in situ in the brewing tower building, including a row of taps used during the “mashing” process and some machinery in the tower proper. This equipment is no longer in use but provides valuable evidence about the brewing process of the mid twentieth century. The brewing tower building also contains coloured internal wall tiling that appears to be original.
It is possible that remnants of brick cold stores thought to date from the 1900s or 1910s exist in the present cold stores situated behind the brewing tower. The footprint of the cold stores shown in the 1951 site plan appears to be similar to that of two of the present stores on the site. A notation in the 1951 plan refers to “reconstruction of extg. cold cellars: building application to be made in 1955”. It is possible that this planned reconstruction did not take place. A fire damaged one of the existing cold stores behind the brewing tower in the 1970s.
During 1959-60, a neon sky-sign comprised of the four Xs was built by Claude Neon and positioned on the brewery tower to maximise its visibility from a distance. The XXXX sign is now significant as a rare survivor of a once popular form of advertising employing the use of large-scale neon tubes.
In 1989, the sign was repaired by Claude Neon as the structure had begun to rust. The ‘Mr Fourex’ sign facing towards the outbound lane of Milton Road was erected by Claude Neon in 1989. This, too, has become a well-known icon associated with the Milton brewery.
The large flywheel and associated machinery on the footpath of Milton Road was originally part of the refrigeration compressor installed in 1919. Located behind the glass windows of the engine room, it has been on display at the front of the site since 1972 when the engine room was demolished.
The historical and iconic importance of the brewery at Milton has been well recognised by Castlemaine Perkins in their continuation of the tradition of representing the brewery buildings on beer labels, signage and their letterhead, the retention of remnants of the brewing process such as the flywheel and copper kettles and by the provision of guided tours for school students and others who are interested in the history of brewing. An interpretative plaque situated near the flywheel acknowledges the public interest in the history of the site.
There are few remnants of the early brewing industry surviving in Brisbane. They include the aforementioned Queensland Brewery building at 501 Anne Street, Fortitude Valley and the frontage of the former Carlton Uniting Brewery in Brunswick Street (1906) which has been retained in a later development. Remnants of the Perkins Brewery in Mary Street are limited to a circa 1901 building purchased by Perkins & Co. in 1899 at 138 Mary Street and the former Perkins stables at 124 Mary Street. Both are entered on the Queensland Heritage Register.
Although a brewery has been located on this site since the 1870s the earliest surviving structures remaining are the former brewing tower building and brick cold stores which possibly predate the 1920s. Today, the main masonry buildings and signage along Milton Road provide a dominant visual statement of the significance of the Milton brewery in the history and townscape of Brisbane and the place of XXXX beer as an icon of Brisbane’s popular culture.

The new second coffee spot from Brew Lab in the west end of Edinburgh. Loved the confident design with all the strip lights as features, the neon, minimal palette and modern "mecano" furniture. I got slightly caught up with drawing the roof rather than than the customers like I'd normally do,

Strange Brew features the work of two of the most distinctive illustrators/artists working in the UK today. Adam Higton and Marcus Walters have a mutual appreciation of each others work and it is this that has brought them together for this exhibition of solo and collaborative artworks. Both artists offer a mix of different styles and techniques which are placed into this melting pot of cosmic imagery. The artworks set Adams amazingly detailed figurative work against Marcus's simple, graphic landscapes. This exhibition heralds a true mix of styles and media, a kaleidoscopic collection of works that combine drawing, collage, and screen printing.
Adam Higton created the Yule Bringer Saga in 2008.. Yule Bringer is an ever-growing collection of characters that inhabit a psychedelic festive village and surrounding forest... The saga features a range of mystical and jovial characters such as; Mr Log, Foxglove, Sorcerer Sword, Pine Wizzo, Dressman and Mr Frog... These dandy demons are often conjured up through the medium of detailed black and white Bic biro drawings and experimental electronic and percussive sound. Since its formation in 2008 Adam has exhibited in Stockholm and Edinburgh, performed musical lectures and has published two zines "I" and "II - Foxgloves Christmas" with the London based independent publisher and risograph wizards, 'Landfill Editions.'
Marcus Walters is a graphic artist based near Stroud in Gloucestershire. Marcus creates his artwork by hand and working across a variety of media including collage, drawing and screen printing. The resulting images are simple and endearing... minimum flourishes that create maximum impact. Marcus has a wide commercial client list including Honda, Citroen and Innocent Smoothies, Howies and Uniqlo amongst others. he sells editions of his screen printed artworks in many shops and galleries across the UK including the V&A.
