Origin
of
Bottled
Beer.
meaning:
a
combination
of
tlie
above
three
kinds.
This
was
first
retailed
at
the
“
Blue
Last/’
Curtain
Road,
Shoreditch,
and
soon
crept
into
popularity.
The
origin
of
bottled
beer
is
thus
quaintly
recorded
by
Fuller.
“Dean
Newall,
of
St.
Pauls,
in
the
reign
of
Queen
Mary,
was
an
excellent
angler.
But
while
Newall
was
catching
of
fishes,
Bishop
Bonner
was
bent
on
catching
of
Newall,
and
would
certainly
have
sent
him
to
the
shambles
had
not a
good
London
merchant
conveyed
him
away
upon
the
seas.
Newall
was
fishing
on
the
banks
of
the
Thames
when
he
received
the
first
intimation
of
his
danger,
which
was
so
pressing
that
he
dared
not
go
back
to
his
own
house
to
make
preparation
for
his
flight.
Like
an
honest
angler,
he
had
taken
provisions
for
the
day
;
and
when,
in
the
first
years
of
England’s
deliverance,
he
returned
to
his
own
country,
and
his
old
haunts,
he
remembered
that,
on
the
day
of
his
flight,
he
had
left
a
bottle
of
beer
in
a
safe
place
on
the
bank
of the
stream
in
which
he
had
fished
;
there
he
looked
for
it,
and
‘
found
no
bottle,
but
a
gun/
for
such
was
the
sound
emitted
at
the
opening
thereof.”
And
this
is
supposed
by
many
to
be
the
origin
of
bottled
ale
in
England.
Dr.
Pereira
says, for
medical
purposes,
that
bottled
porter
is
usually
preferred
to
draught
porter.
