Thank you very much Alastair, makes the work on the site worthwhile. You got 9 out of 10. Sorry. I will publish the actual labels in a week or two. In the meantime another set of 10 is on the way.

Goodness me! More quiz questions? Whatever next.
Well, here are some more answers. Following on from the Taylor Walker label, here we go:-
Oatmeal Stout brewed by Beard & Co, Star Lane Brewery, Fisher Street, Lewes, Sussex.
Brakspear’s Brewery was in Henley – on – Thames
Milk Stout from Bristol Brewery Georges & Co
Gibbs Mew’s Keg Brewery was at Barrowford, Lancs. It was the old Lancashire Clubs brewery. Gibbs closed the brewery when poor brewery hygiene resulted in ropey beer (an infection which turns beer thick and acidic and is a brewer’s nightmare). The brewery then became a vinegar brewery. Mind you, brewing vinegar was what Gibbs Mew were pretty famous for in Wiltshire, so why keep it there? Let the Lancastrians have some, eh?
Kemptown Brewery produced Dolphin Brand beers.
Kimberley was the name of Hardy’s & Hanson’s merged brewery. Hardy’s was used for brewing and eventually Hansons became the bottling unit.
Brandon’s Putney Brewery guaranteed the Guinness.
“Chelt” was the brown ale.
Wrekin Ale was the beer brewed for the coronation – but it wasn’t anything special over the normal Wrekin Ale.
I think the Burtonwood Mild is not Buckle brand, but “Super”
