Exploring Wandsworth, in South West London, an area synonymous with Young's and their historic Ram Brewery (albeit that they left it in 2006). They did at least leave behind a few interesting historic pubs, and we find that other brewers have stepped in to pick up where they left off, on what is the longest continually brewing site in Britain. • Along the way the usual mixed bag of historical anecdotes and architectural musings. Did a gipsy fortune teller predict her own death? Are riverside apartments even more unsightly than a gas works? We look at the very low success rate of spirit licence applications in the 1850s. We touch on a poem about the Jacobite Rebellion of 1745 which mentions the Ram Inn. A brief history of the corporate buck passing of Young's brewing operations. I talk a bit about why I don't like the term craft beer and commend Sambrook's Brewery, one of the wave of 21st century London breweries, for actually making a bitter. Two in fact! I attempt to assert my amateur architectural knowledge by claiming the Spread Eagle is Queen Anne Revival rather than Flemish Renaissance as Historic England claim. Was the Spread Eagle formerly a coaching inn? A brief nightmarish interlude about BrewDog and their grapefruit infused grapefruit hopped grapefruitey grapefruit beer which tastes of grapefruit. Did I mention grapefruit? Then finally to the safety of a pub owned by Harvey's of Sussex, named after a temporarily absent pet. • Links etc • Ship • https://whatpub.com/pubs/SWL/2940/shi... • https://londonwiki.co.uk/LondonPubs/W... • Alma • https://whatpub.com/pubs/SWL/2668/alm... • https://pubheritage.camra.org.uk/pubs... • https://londonwiki.co.uk/LondonPubs/W... • Ram • https://whatpub.com/pubs/SWL/2711/ram... • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_Inn... • https://historicengland.org.uk/listin... • Sambrook's Brewery Tap • https://whatpub.com/pubs/SWL/17079/sa... • Spread Eagle • https://whatpub.com/pubs/SWL/2948/spr... • https://pubheritage.camra.org.uk/pubs... • https://londonwiki.co.uk/LondonPubs/W... • https://historicengland.org.uk/listin... • Cat's Back • https://whatpub.com/pubs/SWL/2721/cat... • https://londonwiki.co.uk/LondonPubs/W... • Chapters: • 0:00 Intro • 1:23 Ship • 4:59 Alma • 8:36 Ram • 12:04 Sambrook's Brewery Tap • 14:33 Spread Eagle • 18:57 BrewDog (only joking!) • 19:10 Cat's Back • 22:47 Outro
