Samuel Allsopp & Sons Ltd black backed steel tray dating from the 1930s.
\nBy 1825 Andrew Roy had purchased the Alloa Brewery and was trading under the name of Andrew Roy & Co.
\nWhen Andrew Roy died in 1855 the business was run by trustees until 1860, eventually passing into the hands of Archibald T Arrol in 1866.
\nAfter Archibald Arrol’s death in 1888, the business was run by his two sons Walter and Archibald.<\/p>\n
\nWhen John Joseph Calder, a director of Archibald Arrol & Sons Ltd, was appointed by receivers acting for Samuel Allsopp & Sons Ltd in 1912, a link with lager brewing in Burton-on-Trent was formed.
\nIn 1899, Allsopp’s had converted an existing brewery on High Street in Burton-on-Trent, into a lager brewery.
\nLager sales were well below expectations, when in 1916, a fire destroyed part of the brewery.
\nAllsopp’s Lager had gained a terrible reputation both by drinkers and shareholders alike.<\/p>\n
\nAt first Allsopp’s Lager was renamed Arrol’s Lager and Calder’s Lager although Allsopp’s Bottled Lager continued to be used for the export market where its reputation was better. Indeed the Red Hand trade mark continued to be used by a separately created subsidiary export company named The Alloa Bottling Co. Ltd until the 1950s.
\nIn 1927 the lager was renamed Graham’s Golden Lager.
\nArchibald Arrol & Sons Ltd brewed for Samuel Allsopp & Sons Ltd until 1930 when Allsopp’s gained a controlling interest in the Company.<\/p>\n
\nIn 1951 the business entered voluntary liquidation and the Company, with its brewery and 29 public houses, was acquired by Ind Coope & Allsopp Ltd.
\nThe Alloa Brewery brewed Graham’s Golden Lager until it was rebranded Skol Pilsner Lager in 1959 and later simply Skol.
\nBy the mid 1960s Skol was the best selling British brewed lager.
\nThe Scottish Company traded as Ind Coope Alloa Brewery Ltd later renamed the Alloa Brewery Co. Ltd.
\nAfter several further mergers, the Alloa Brewery was closed by its last owners Carlsberg-Tetley plc in 1998, and the site was demolished in 2001.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
