Often they were contracted to supply cider to the breweries estate. Sometimes brewries had substatial share holdings in their local supplying ciderworks, or wholly owned them.<br /><br />Interestingly, I don't know of any occasions when breweries were bought up by cider businesses. I think the history of cidermaking suggests they had little expertise in running large pub estates.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15595039296072668714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2723429766218083394.post-6971779827959773562009-06-29T10:18:00.710-07:002009-06-29T10:18:00.710-07:00I thing the company was associated with Norman and...I thing the company was associated with Norman and Pring's brewery in Exeter.
