I'm easily pleased.
Actually, that isn't true at all, but there are certain things that do bring a child-like grin of surprise to my face, such as finding the facsimile of a label for a long lost Irish beer. (Acquiring the actual label might even cause a small giggle of pleasure to escape.) I guess we all have our wants, needs and desires ...
So imagine me sitting at my computer researching D'arcy's brewery in Dublin for a new project and suddenly the above image pops up. Okay, so I have posted this image before, but that was a poor quality version from a newspaper source, which I cleaned and sharpened as best as I could. This is a wonderfully crisp and verifiable copy from an interesting source - The British, Foreign, and Colonial Tradesmarks' Directory from 1866 which also contains labels from English and Scottish breweries.
Anyhow, I felt it was worth creating a new post for this new version of the label - now I just need to find the actual recipe and brew it!
