A History of Brewing in Oxford
Some may question its flavour, but none its potency”: A history of brewing in Oxford' by local historian Liz Woolley
As early as the 13th century, professional commercial brewers had begun to appear in Oxford, and brewing became big business, both in the colleges and in the town. There were brewhouses in the castle and at the Radcliffe Infirmary, and by the 19th century the place was awash with
beer: in 1883 it was reported that there were no fewer than 319 licensed premises in the city, and that more money was being spent on alcohol than on food. This talk will examine how and why – despite Temperance efforts – Oxford’s brewing trade flourished.
