Engraving of the yard and works at Bow Brewery in 1827.

Engraving of the yard and works at Bow Brewery. This brewery was used for the brewing of pale ale which was exported to India. This ale was brewed to a special recipe devised by George Hodgson, who began shipping Hodgson's India Ale in the 1790s. His recipe had a high hop and a high alcohol content which could survive the long journey and extended storage time.
